About The Book

Bluewords Greening is a book about motherhood--love and family and fear and failure and mini-ninjas. We observe a mothers 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 sons frustrated and often surprisingly beautiful lexicon; shes also in conversation with the work of contemporary visual artists and the craft of printmaking and the twelfth-century visionary St. Hildegard. Stewart-Nuñezs 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. Bluewords Greening is a marvelous book. --Beth Ann Fennelly Great With Child: Letters to a Young Mother
