How can the body separate itself from the land, from grief? It’s an impossible question that nonetheless spills. In Cornelia Barber’s Pink Metal, this spilling becomes an urgent speaking. Barber refuses to shrink, to push grief or the land into a shape other than what it is. The result is a text that is as sharp and exacting as it is prone to sludge and ooze. Pink Metal asks us to listen to life or a circle of hinges burning around real pain, real tenderness. Like Aase Berg or Kim Hyesoon, Cornelia Barber is unafraid to document the world as it collapses around us.
