Empty Dresses
Empty Dresses is Julie Chevalier's first poetry collection in a decade. The title poem is one of many ekphrastic poems, in this case inspired by Anselm Kiefer's paintings.
About her previous ...Chevalier's voice is also present in Darger , not only in the characteristic precision of her poetic images, but in the enjoyable fizziness of her play with language and line. ...Readers less familiar with the ins and outs of poetic language will certainly find her poems enjoyable and rewarding, but there are other subtleties to her work - her play with voice, line, music, image - that gratify careful and repeated reading. - Jessica L Wilkinson, Rabbit Interview, An Introduction to Julie Chevalier

I like this collection. An assortment of things - reflective of perspective and observations of the world, through travelling. Discussion of relationships, womanhood, marriage, children and leaving.
