Bluets

This is the only book I've ever re-read in my entire life. There's a lot that went over my head in 2019 and there's definitely stuff I can't grasp even now. But I think this is one I'll revisit all throughout my life and find gems as I grow. Probably my favorite book of all time. So many different moments in time are weaved together. It feels so stream-of-consciousness but expertly crafted at the same time. It's honest and its weird and sporadic and inquisitive and wise. I can see how people might be off-put by some of these things, but I think its chaos is part of its charm. Everything is held together by a very thin thread (blue!). I think this blend of poetry and prose (and research ofc) is Maggie Nelson's sweet spot and I wish she'd just keep writing shit like this. I just want more. <3
