Album of Not

<p>Eve Linn's debut collection <em>Album of Not</em> examines the female experience through poems that channel women whose lives defied the patriarchy: Frida Kahlo Sarah Bernhardt and Francesca Woodman. At its heart <em>Album of Not</em> concerns itself with <em>the not</em> - not what never existed but the excision of what existed: Excise the image. / Leave only a perfect silhouette. The speaker is the scribe of battered stars who has to memorize her own son and buys a photo album ...to pretend / I had a past. This remarkable collection confronts the perpetuity of loss through poems that are often surreal and always arresting.</p><p>- <strong>Cindy Veach</strong> author of <em>Her Kind</em></p>
