Frida Kahlo Wakes Up to Find Diego Rivera in the Mood & Other Poems by Jessica Noyes McEntee

This book brims with restless women: Frida Kahlo, Penelope, a lover, mother, daughter, neighbor, insomniac, consumer, adulteress—and each voice “magics the glass into mirror.” Studded with details that feel intimate yet alien, taking us places that range from a polar bear enclosure to “A Deathbed Confession,” these are poems of uncanny sensuousness.

–Nicole Caruso Garcia, author of Oxblood (Able Muse Press 2022)

Like the iron shaft that impailed the eponymous artist, Frida Kahlo Wakes Up to Find Diego Rivera in the Mood pierces the ornamental surface of poetry in search of viscera. These poems will alter the way you look at the world.
