Pink Museum

Big Lucks, 2015

"I love Pink Museum, its romance and heartbreak, its feminism and femininity. Wildly attuned to the power of language to cross boundaries between the living and the dead, Caroline Crew writes poems that mix Victorian ideas with twenty-first century speech and vice versa. Her sharp, appealing lines regard past centuries as "the imprint our teeth would leave / in time, could a lady bite," sounding a smiling, quiet threat I adore. This is a marvelous book from a brilliant new voice in poetry."

“The world turns in Crew's vision, essay by essay, renewed or revealed in ways only she can provide, and all of it brought to us in a voice I'd follow into any topic--propulsive, lyrical, able to turn on a dime, as the expression goes. The result is a guide to the trap doors this culture sets up for women, and the landscape only visible once you fall through. An unforgettable debut.”
