We observe a mother's bewildering experiences with her son as the poems detail his diagnosis with a rare form of epilepsy and the \"bluewords\" that result from his aphasia. The speaker is in deep conversation with the son's frustrated and often surprisingly beautiful lexicon; she's also in conversation with the work of contemporary visual artists and the craft of printmaking and the twelfth-century visionary, St. Hildegard. Stewart-Nu ez's music and skilled syntax and stubborn insistence on the beauty of the world--even as the poems explore the heartbreak of recurrent miscarriage--keep the reader rapt and grateful and illuminated. \u003cem\u003eBluewords Greening\u003c\/em\u003e is a marvelous book. \u003cbr\u003e --Beth Ann Fennelly, \u003cem\u003eGreat With Child: Letters to a Young Mother\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42721643954239,"sku":"9780997666618","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4b8b8d2a4ec6dd1049d70a34b9e5629b.webp?v=1765093088","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/bluewords-greening-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
