Through her presence and unwavering support, she encouraged Picasso to push the boundaries of artistic expression, leading him toward the path of Cubism and challenging conventions with every stroke of his brush.

Their tumultuous relationship endured for several years, with both parties experiencing moments of intense admiration and bouts of jealousy and insecurity. Picasso's growing fame and his constant pursuit of artistic innovation often strained their connection, but Fernande remained a pillar of love and support.

Marie-Thérèse Walter was seventeen when she met Picasso. He was forty-six. These poems - as simple and direct as quick sketches - use her voice to tell the story of the relationship with Picasso and what it meant to her from its first beginnings, until the day on which she took her own life, three years after his death.The poems illuminate his love for a woman who was, as John Berger says, 'the sexually most important affair of his life'; they also, perhaps, make sense of Marie-Thérèse's love for him.Jeff Fisher's drawings animate the vivid voice of Marie-Thérèse, created with great immediacy by Julia Blackburn.
