House of McQueen<\/em><\/h1>\n

Valerie Wallace<\/h2>\n

Named One of the \u201c10 Best Poetry Books of 2018\u201d by the\u00a0Chicago Review of Books<\/a>.<\/em><\/h5>\n

Selected by Vievee Francis for the 2016 Four Way Books Intro Prize in Poetry, Valerie Wallace\u2019s House of McQueen<\/em> is a glittering debut by an assured new voice. Inhabiting the life and work of Alexander McQueen, Wallace builds a fantastical world using both original language and excerpts drawn from interviews, supermodels, Shakespeare, and more. At turns fierce and vulnerable, here is a collection that leaps from runway to fairytale to street with wild, brilliant grace.<\/p>\n

“McQueen\u2019s Bop with the Interviewer” from House of McQueen<\/em>:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried my best to get away
\nfrom the Little Black Dress.
\nThat uniform makes mine eyes glaze over!
\nHow can you trust counterfeit elegance?
\nThere\u2019s something ignorant
\nin women who wear sparrows.<\/p>\n

I want people to be afraid
\nof the women I dress.<\/p>\n

Waif who needs rescuing
\nisn\u2019t romance.
\nI\u2019ve seen naivet\u00e9
\nI know what can happen.
\nSomeone\u2019s life is burning
\nfrom this world\u2019s brutal kiss.
\nI am | you are
\nthe voyeur | the mirror.<\/p>\n

I want people to be afraid
\nof the women I dress.<\/p>\n

This is sartorial,
\nbut, O softness.
\nO radiance.
\nLeather, locusts, shells, fur
\nThe clothes I make
\ndon\u2019t acquiesce.
\nHere teeth, and nets,
\nart of armor.<\/p>\n

I want people to be afraid
\nof the women I dress.
