The Memoir of Mona Lisa

"In the languages of movement and place, The Memoir of Mona Lisa and Other Poems attends to the lines we draw but don't exist for gender, public and private, art and life, making and finding, gravity and joy. In the title sonnet sequence, imagined from research and long looking, Mona Lisa examines "the questions of / Form and perspective, surface and relationship" and reveals her relationship with her husband and her husband's male lover.
