Bluets

“You can read Bluets in an hour, but it will stay with you, like it has me, for years. It’s 100 pages on the color blue, though, of course, it’s so much more than that. Maggie Nelson is brilliant.”

“Read a gorgeous little blue(s)-themed, snack-length mini essay or two or 240.”

“A collection of short essays meditating on the color blue. I get more out of it every time I read it. It’s sexy!!”

“A book I’ve bought multiple times because when I loan it out, I never expect it back.”

“inspired my love of the paradox of prose poetry, i revisit her often”

“I wanted to recommend Bluets and so I double checked, the audiobook is read by Maggie Nelson herself. I could read this 1000x and it will still feel like my heart is breaking for the first time.”

“my favorite over and over”

“my favorite book of all time. i read it anytime i need inspiration or to feel alive again. i will never get tired of reading it”

“deeply influential to my writing style & some of the best personal writing i've ever read in my life while not being overtly about personal writing”
