Description
Lynne Thompson's Blue on a Blue Palette reflects on the condition of women-their joys despite their histories, and their insistence on survival as issues of race, culture, pandemic, and climate threaten their livelihoods. The documentation of these personal odysseys-which vary stylistically from abecedarians to free verse to centos-replicate the many ways women travel through the stages of their lives, all negotiated on a palette encompassing various shades of blue. These poems demand your attention, your voice: "Say history. Claim. Say wild." Illustrations, unspecified
