Nude by Anne Portugal translated by Norma Cole |
Kelsey St. Press announces its latest release, NUDE, poems by Anne Portugal, translated from French by Norma Cole. NUDE is a hilarious set of adventures, a retelling in a striking array of contemporary lyric forms of the story of Susannah and the elders. A zany send-up, these poems are a set of adventures, family outings, romps and trysts in hotel rooms on the Riviera. In this brilliant translation, Portugal's poems are at their most whimsical and heterogeneous. They are objects that come supplied with a complex and simple motor that often contain a built-in surprise, causing words to work loose or even explode in your face
