<i>The sack of Rome,</i>
<i>The siege of Florence.</i>
<i>The lights twinkle pink in Fiesole.</i>
<i>Pink furls, pink buds.</i>
<i>Wet pink veiny hearts in spring.</i>
<i>Pink can mean so many things.</i>
Sylvie Baumgartel’s <i>Pink</i> moves from the shadow of the Ponte Vecchio to a mission church in Santa Fe, from <i>Daily Mail </i>reports to a photograph of a girl from Tierra del Fuego, from a grandmother’s advice (\”Don’t go to Smith and don’t get fat\”) to legs wrapped around \”a man who calls me <i>cake</i>.\”
Baumgartel, a poet of fierce, intimate, wry language, delivers a second collection about art, history, violence, bodies, fear, pain, reckoning, and transcendence. The poems travel back to the historical, linguistic, and emotional sources of things while surging forward with a stirring momentum, creating a whirlwind of birth and destruction.
