| book description |

What did Jackson Pollock say to the tree that killed him? Or the wives of Henry XIII behind closed doors? What if Virginia Woolf hadn't killed herself during WWII? Would Abraham Lincoln have anything to impart to Americans at this divisive political moment? Humorous, lustful, breathtaking, and insightful, Eve Wood's four-part collection of prose poems and epistolary fiction imagines the hidden lives (and deaths) of contemporary artists and the women who married Henry XIII, 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, we find strength and expression as a panacea for dark times. Illustrated with plates from Eve Wood's thirty-year signature series of darkly humorous drawings and paintings, including several never exhibited.
