The Simultaneous Dress Summary

The Simultaneous Dress by Linda France

The Simultaneous Dress is borrowed from the artist Sonia Delaunay, a dream garment that perfectly matches the wearer's mood, movement and memories. It fits like a second skin, shielding and revealing at the same time. This dress stands for integrity, wholeheartedness, the place where awareness and action become one, poised and fluid. These are poems written on the body, seeking rest in a puzzling, unsettled world, asking questions about identity and the limits of love.

The Simultaneous Dress Reviews

Linda France's work provides further evidence that much of the most energetic, vital poetry today is by women. Her exuberant first collection, Red, compared love unfavourably with jazz. Her third collection, Storyville, devotes a section to this connection. The result, like the music, is very seductive. -- Christina Patterson * Independent *
