By early 1914, Barnes was a highly sought feature reporter, interviewer, and illustrator whose work appeared in the city’s leading newspapers and periodicals. Later, Barnes’ talent and connections with prominent Greenwich Village bohemians afforded her the opportunity to publish her prose, poems, illustrations, and one-act plays in both avant-garde literary journals and popular magazines, and publish an illustrated volume of poetry, The Book of Repulsive Women (1915) .  \nIn 1921, a lucrative commission with McCall’s magazine took Barnes to Paris, where she lived for the next ten years. In this period she published A Book (1923), a collection of poetry, plays, and short stories, which was later reissued, with the addition of three stories, as A Night Among the Horses (1929), Ladies Almanack (1928), and Ryder (1929) .  \nDuring the 1930s, Barnes spent time in England, Paris, New York, and North Africa. It was during this restless time that she wrote and published Nightwood. In October 1939, after nearly two decades living mostly in Europe, Barnes returned to New York. She published her last major work, the verse play The Antiphon, in 1958, and she died in her apartment at Patchin Place, Greenwich Village in June 1982.  \nThe Book of Repulsive Women is a collection of eight poems and five drawings by Djuna Barnes first published in 1915. Despite the fact that this was Barnes’ first publication of what she considered to be her “serious” work, she later hated the book and wished to repress the fact that she had written it at all. The book was republished by Baron despite Barnes’disapproval, and has been republished three times more since her death. Contrary to what the title may suggest, The Book of Repulsive Women is an intriguing work; Barnes uses the visual and textual to function as one cohesive narrative and the book as a whole engages the reader in its striking imagery. By merging poetry and illustrations, Barnes attempts to create a new space for feminine discourse.  \nDjuna Barnes  \nThe Book of Repulsive Women  \n8 Rhythms and 5 Drawings  \nePub r1 .0  \nRLull 15.04.16  \nTítulo original: The Book ofRepulsive Women Djuna Barnes, 1915  \nIlustraciones: Djuna Barnes  \nEditor digital: RLullePub base r1 .2  \nTO MOTHER  \nWho was more or less like All mothers, but she was mine, and so–She excelled.  \n—From Fifth Avenue Up—  \nSOMEDAYbeneath some hard Capricious star—  \nSpreading its light a little Overfar,  \nWe ’ll knowyou for the woman That you are.  \nFor though one tookyou, hurledyou Out ofspace,  \nWith your legs half strangled In your lace,  \nYou ’d lip the worldto madness On yourface.  \nWe ’d seeyour body in the grass With coolpale eyes.  \nWe ’dstrain to touch those lang ’rous Length ofthighs,  \nAnd hearyour short sharp modern Babylonic cries.  \nIt wouldn ’t go.
