Venice: Poems

Ange 姆林科
Role: Author
Written by a National Poetry Series Award recipient and Guggenheim Fellow

In Venice, Ange Mlinko dissolves the boundaries between the sublime and the ordinary, the mythic and the rational, the past and the present. She sees a Roman tablet, scratched with Greek script, in the waxen wings of a bouffant bee, and she thinks of the abyss between two airport terminals when considering Rodin’s Gates of Hell. From Naples, Italy, to its sister city on the Gulf of Mexico, or at home, in the glow of a computer screen, Mlinko probes the etymologies and eccentricities of all she encounters.
