Do the Monkey

by Norma Cole

Poetry. A highly respected translator from the French, San Francisco resident Norma Cole is equally renowned for her own poetry, a body of work that manages to be both exacting and elegant. Her new title, DO THE MONKEY, is complex and reflexive. Cole continues to create texts using her original and modern voice, but also recalls the past within this new form. This new collection is a beautiful addition to Cole's current volumes of poetry.
