Description
by
Linn F. W. Eve (Author)
Eve Linn’s debut collection, Album of Not, examines the female experience through poems that channel women whose lives defied the patriarchy: Frida Kahlo, Sarah Bernhardt and Francesca Woodman. At its heart Album of Not concerns itself with the not – 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.
– Cindy Veach, author of Her Kind
