Publisher Description

Suppose I were to begin by saying that I had fallen in love with a color . . .

A lyrical, philosophical, and often explicit exploration of personal suffering and the limitations of vision and love, as refracted through the color blue. With Bluets, Maggie Nelson has entered the pantheon of brilliant lyric essayists.

Maggie Nelson is the author of numerous books of poetry and nonfiction, including Something Bright, Then Holes (Soft Skull Press, 2007) and Women, the New York School, and Other True Abstractions (University of Iowa Press, 2007). She lives in Los Angeles and teaches at the California Institute of the Arts.

My opinions

This book always makes me feel some type of way it’s as if I’m drawn to it every time something happen to me I keep going to it

Sofia Bodniza ,

Sexy read

Nelson captures the color blue from all shades and unique perspectives. I giggled, felt sexy, teared up, got confused, felt joy, got sad, felt sexy again - dissecting essay by essay. She's an exquisite writer. I recommend this eclectic book to all (who wear blue)
