Sally Festing's White Queen's Last Stand is a collection with a strong ekphrastic dimension inspired by the sculptures of Germaine Richier. Following her early death, she was largely forgotten in the art world, despite being one of the very few women artists to receive international success in the 1940s and 1950s. Festing reflects on her obsession with Richier's work, her visits to significant landscapes, and the connections between Richier's art and her own poetry. The collection includes diary jottings and comments woven between poems as well as a four-page Timeline.
