Capturing the breadth of Julie Kane's poetics across nearly four decades—formalist and neo-confessional, steeped in both Boston Irish-American and New Orleans cultures—Naked Ladies displays the full range and achievement of her work. Gathered here in one volume are selections from Kane's five previous collections, including her long-out-of-print first book and her subsequent winners of the National Poetry Series and Donald Justice Poetry Prize. Readers will also find a generous selection of new and previously uncollected work. The title of this milestone collection acknowledges Kane's place in the tradition of women confessional poets, evokes the nickname of a common Louisiana flower, and nods to the honesty and frankness that characterize her poems' speakers.

Praise for Julie Kane "Those who have seen Kane perform her poems . . . will have enjoyed her girlish, mischievous, and charmingly self-deprecating presence onstage. But to be alone in a room with the poems is a rather different experience—you realize the voice has more of the sass and wisecracks of a film noir dame—smart, unsentimental, funny, sexually frank, alternately vulnerable and dangerous." - A. E. Stallings, Light magazine "Kane is a boomers' Edna St. Vincent Millay." - Natalie Jacobson McCracken, Bostonia magazine "She's a wonderful formalist, but there's a touch of the anarchist in every line." - Mary A. McCay, New Orleans Times-Picayune "Wickedly clever Julie Kane is our twenty-first-century Dorothy Parker." - Molly Peacock "The physical in Kane's poetry is so intensely, humanly physical that it shines, a shining that attracts the feelings and lights the mind." - A. R. Ammons
