| book description |

A four-part collection of prose poems and epistolary fiction by Eve Wood, illustrated with her thirty-year signature series of darkly humorous drawings and paintings. What did Jackson Pollock say to the tree that killed him? Or the wives of Henry VIII behind closed doors? In her humorous, lustful, and insightful book, Eve Wood imagines the hidden lives (and deaths) of contemporary artists and the women who married Henry VIII, as well as rendering the coded amorous exchanges between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West and pulling wisdom from under Abraham Lincoln's hat. Eve Wood takes her subjects beyond the looking glass, turns history in on itself and sees our contemporary moment reflected there. Laughing along the way, surprised by her discoveries and her art, this book is a panacea for dark times. Color illustrations throughout.
