Painted Women in the Walls - Paperback

by Jenny Benjamin (Author)

Painted Women in the Walls houses a multitude of women's voices, from Sylivia Plath to Lizzie Siddel to women etched on Tarot cards. Within the walls, other characters, whose labels and roles shift, speak in lyrical lines about familial and romantic love, loss, mystery, injustice, and discovery. The poems, infused with internal rhymes, create a mosaic where fantasy, domesticity, and fable meet.
