All Comments on 'Chloe Poses For Jules Lefebvre'

I mean, really. The poem is neat, tidy and tells a wickedly sinister story. Thanks for the note at the end as I was unfamiliar with that artist and the history you write about. You really are a good poet and you get better with each submission. And the variety you write about amazes me. So smart, totally cool. I like ya woman, and your work. I bet you would be a fun friend to hang out with.

the poem feels so exact. Having read the backstory, this piece leaves me unsettled in the same way--I so desperately want to know her thinking. But mercilessly, your piece recounts but does not attempt to explain. And I'm glad it doesn't.

It's cut too close to the bone for my tastes (pun not intended!) if a whole paragraph has to be included so that I understand a poem then it has missed it's mark

A poem which should be set alongside a meal of fava beans and a fine chianti. A strong and disturbing image. Isn't the legend, too, very sad?

solid 5, loved this. you bring her into more than 3-D, by incorporating her sensations... not an easy thing to do from a painting. you get better by the day!

if i had to be done-to-the-bone picky, 'her head yells' didn't work for me quite as well as the rest, but damn, that'd be uber niggly.
