NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The Garden District Book Shop announced that poet Julie Kane will be at the shop on Feb. 18 for an evening celebrating her collection “Naked Ladies: New and Selected Poems.”Â
Capturing the breadth of Kane’s poetics across nearly four decades—formalist and neo-confessional, steeped in both Boston Irish-American and New Orleans cultures— “Naked Ladies” displays the full range and achievement of her work. Gathered here in one volume are selections from Kane’s five previous collections, including her long-out-of-print first book and her subsequent winners of the National Poetry Series and Donald Justice Poetry Prize.
The evening will begin at 6 p.m. Kane will read a selection from her work and then personalize copies of her book. The event is open to the public but interested parties are encouraged to reserve their copy via Eventbrite.Â
