I started the new year visiting the Warner Brother’s lot which brought me face to face with costumes from some of my favorite movies, one of which being Rebel Without a Cause. And while Jim’s outfit was a recreation of what James Dean originally wore for the film, the dress for Judy was actually worn by Natalie Wood! It was especially nice to see this dress because it really doesn’t get much screen time. In the film, Judy wears this in the opening scene at the police station, but with a matching red coat that ends up covering most of the dress! Red is a very emotionally intense color. In a 2015 post from Birth. Movies. Death, Kolleen Carney-Hoepfner gave a beautifully detailed analysis of how this color represents Judy’s character. “When we first meet Natalie Wood’s Judy in Rebel Without a Cause, she is dressed head to toe in the always symbolic color red, weeping in a police station, having been picked up for breaking curfew. She is concerned about her father hating her… Wood is wonderful in this scene, hitching her breath and trembling her lip as she hyperventilates through her lamentations. It’s a bit overwrought (ok, maybe more than a bit), but as a former teen girl, it’s relatable. The pain of being stuck between the need of a father’s love and the desire to grow up is a real, tangible thing…Wood is beautifully representing every teen girl whose dad was unequipped to handle their coming of age…Judy is a fascinating character because she is pinging off opposite poles; tough girl, ingénue. She is who she has to be as the situation calls for it, and she is forever finding her footing.” . . Rebel Without a Cause (1955). Costume design by Moss Mabry. (at Warner Bros.

“Kolleen Carney Hoepfner’s voice in these spare, elegant poems warns us that ‘A part of her insisted/that there was a darker truth.’ Her words are alive with this darkness, guiding the reader in and out of shadows, looking for escape, and then daring us to explore even darker recesses. Hoepfner writes that 'people // won’t want to look/ at the horror of you,’ but A Live Thing, Clinging with Many Teeth, asks us to look, again and again.”

“Kolleen Carney Hoepfner’s A Live Thing, Clinging With Many Teeth dutifully lives up to its name. It brims with softness and the sharp things that protect it. It flirts and fights. A truly beautiful collection of poetry.”

                  If you’re going to live through this

                               I would suggest you stop

                                 and learn that no matter

              how hard the most obvious solution

                          would be to start screaming.

— Kolleen Carney Hoepfner, from A Live Thing, Clinging with Many Teeth
