Gala

Lynne Shapiro's Gala is a collection of poems that unfolds like a film.???????Spliced with flashbacks and asides the poems move through myriad cultural and poetic registers-from Surrealist tropes to Hollywood movies to Greek mythology-showcasing a unique feminist voice that echoes the collage aesthetic of the artworks themselves. Gala is an artist's coming-of-age story and insists that a woman's voice in all its wonder and indignation shall not be erased. Gala is a 42-page chapbook perfect bound 5 x 8 with 8 color illustrations.
