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.
