Gala : Solitude Hill Press : 9798985592702 : 05 Dec 2022 : 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.
