A NEW YORK TIMES BEST POETRY BOOK OF 2024

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY

FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY

Published here in a stunning edition with images created by Carson, several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like The New Yorker and The Paris Review. As Carson writes: “Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantnamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget’s Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night. The pieces are not linked. That’s why I’ve called them ‘wrong.'”
