Juliet As Herself

Poetry. Winner of the 2004 Slapering Hol Press Chapbook Competition. Nancy Taylor Everett chose to re-imagine Juliet as a way of exploring a long interest of hers--the rich cusp between childhood and adulthood. This Juliet has all the elan of a curious child watching herself take charge. Come meet her. "JULIET AS HERSELF is a collection of smart yet tender poems. Here the Juliet of Shakespeare shadows the life of a curious, buoyant, modern young woman as she considers many topics including cartography, art, trees, hair, dirt, envy, and, of course, love. Nancy Taylor Everett has a flair for fresh language and a fine ear for the music of words. Everett's Juliet is a person we want to know better, someone whose life we'd like to follow. This is a wonderful book"--Susan Terris.Nancy Taylor Everett is the author of 'Juliet As Herself', published 2004 under ISBN 9780970027757 and ISBN 0970027753.
