Stewart-Nuñez draws upon a number of styles--persona, ekphrastic, lyrical, formal--to create a collection that explores the promises of love and loss. Among Untrussed's many delights is a series of Wonder Woman poems that reveal a heroine who is as human as she is superhuman. From pleasure to pain to hope of new love, this collection draws readers into the everyday magic of the world.

Bluewords Greening is a book about motherhood—love and family and fear and failure and mini-ninjas. We observe a mother’s 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 son’s frustrated and often surprisingly beautiful lexicon; she’s also in conversation with the work of contemporary visual artists and the craft of printmaking and the twelfth-century visionary, St. Hildegard. Stewart-Nuñez’s 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

In The Poet & The Architect, Christine Stewart-Nuñez explores how the disciplines we devote our lives to influence how we view the world and, subsequently, interact with each other. If, as Louis Sullivan says in the book's epigraph, an architect must possess "the intuition of a poet," the poet/speaker in this collection must also learn to construct her own body of work "using the material / one has." That material includes the relationship the poet and the architect build from their pasts and the blended family they create and nurture together. "My husband writes shelter," Stewart-Nuñez says, "I architect spells." They are spells she invites us to enter and take shelter in. -Grace Bauer
