Nude by Anne Portugal
Poetry. Translated 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. You really know painting/ the true distance/ stepping back/ the cat's eye in the manufacture of marbles/ flowerpot to flowers/ strong/ red of the red bean/ you should have a Sugar Daddy even a tired one/ even an ugly one/ the hereditary symmetry of the rodeo/ and its raging desire/ to make you dance/ whistling to yourself/ think think of the kid from Cliff/ who relaxes/ and lets a crumb fall into your lap/ You really know painting - Untitled.
