Fluent in Blue: poems - Paperback

by Erin Murphy (Author)

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."
