Fluent in Blue - poems

WINNER of the 2025 American Book Fest's Best Book Award for Poetry!
From displaced bluegills to Picasso's Período Azul, Fluent in Blue examines blue in its many permutations: color, emotion, mental illness, nature, politics, and music. Through both lyricism and narrative, the poems are always attuned to language itself, to the way "the world is every word unfurled."
