Fist comes to us in the voice of artist Georgia O'Keeffe. In this chapbook, O'Keeffe offers readers details of her life-as an artist, as a wife to a man who both helped and harmed her, and as an older woman who found her spiritual home. Each poem is ekphrastic, written in response to pieces of her art; epistolic, in homage to the many letters she wrote during her lifetime; and persona, based on factual events and experiences. Fist is part of a trilogy of chapbooks written in the voices of three powerful and influential women: Mary, mother of Jesus, artist Georgia O'Keeffe, and chef and food activist Alice Waters.
