| Notes | There is a reference here to Mark Rothko, an American artist of Latvian-Jewish descent. This poem, and the three other poems in this section of four poems relates to experiencing an installation by Polish visual artist Miroslaw Balka. In the piece likely referred to in this poem, 'How it is', a giant steel structure contains a dark chamber into which one can enter. The artwork was designed with Polish history in mind, being reminiscent of the trucks carrying Jewish people to the death camps. Here, the speaker of the poem appears to describe coming out from the box, back into the light of the room. |
