Enamel Eyes, a Fantasia on Paris, 1870

In lyric poetry with the dramatic sweep of a historical novel, Jay Rogoff's Enamel Eyes, a Fantasia on Paris, 1870 reimagines "the terrible year" when the Franco-Prussian War shook the City of Lights. Using multiple voices and poetic forms, Rogoff skilfully recreates the wonder and horror of these months of siege.
