The Undressed

By Jemma L. King

The Undressed is a poetry collection inspired by a cache of antique nude photographs of women. King studied the photographs ranging from the 1840s to the 1930s and attempted to return voices to these mostly anonymous women lost to history. Meet Olive, the silent movie star, Karolina, "The Folding Girl of Kotka," and Mary, the prostitute who hopes the judge she's due to stand before will turn out to be a client.
