Against a backdrop of family stories, Julianna Baggott draws themes as sharp as razors. She is an accomplished poet of the eye and ear, of the definitive feminine experience, and her poems of private life are expansive enough to suggest a vision of a political and historical era. - Rodney Jones, author of Elegy for the Southern Drawl ""Julianna Baggott has a fierce imagination which probes the ordinary details of a woman's life and lights up both the sacred and profane."" - Linda Pastan, author of Carnival Evening: New and Selected Poems, 1968-1998
Lizzie Borden in Love, a collection of poems by national bestselling author, Julianna Baggott, offers poignant commentary in the voices of women as varied as Mary Todd Lincoln and Monica Lewinsky. The poems often focus on a particular moment in life: Katherine Hepburn discovers the dead body of her brother in an attic, or painter, Mary Cassatt mourns the failure of her eyesight. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes ecstatic, the poems in this collection never fail the trust of the subjects of their intimate portrayals.
