The extraordinary first poetry collection by the renowned painter and sculptor Dorothea Tanning

Finally, on second, in bras. Bras swarming everywhere,
giant pink moths at rest, their empty cups clamoring,

"Fill me."
-from "End of the Day on Second"

Dorothea Tanning is an exceptional visual artist, and now, in her nineties, she has become an exceptional poet. In A Table of Content, we are made to see more clearly the city landscape, the creative impulse, and the worlds of potential disaster and sensual erotics with a vision that survives taste, trend, and time.
