Golden Age These majas— in dresses of spun sugar, on balconies, behind fans-- display plump breasts like half-opened gifts, lines and curves thrumming like violins. No infantas with entourages-- still lives designed by god-kings’ whims— nor drab mothers churning butter in the background with wool on spindles waiting, these majas unveil lives that spill beyond objets d’art frames, curating the gazes of old masters across the ages, curating the ever-present I’s who consume. Catherine Fletcher Catherine Fletcher is a writer based in Virginia, USA. Recent work has appeared in The Inflectionist Review, New World Writing, The Hopper, Kissing Dynamite, Hopkins Review, and the concert series Concept Lab.
