Elisabeth Horan, ‘The Mask’ from The Broken Spine:
Incredibly powerful, an unashamed assertion of woman, ‘The Mask’ explores the exquisite intensity of desire. An intimate portrait of the cerebral and visceral meaning of yearning, Elisabeth’s lyricism urges uprising: the relinquishing and seizing of control. The rhythmical sense of abandon within these ekphrastic responses, intertwined with Frida’s native Spanish, feed a lingering connection between the artist’s and poet’s tenacious spirits.
