### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Embracing Complexity
*by G***I on December 15, 2023*

Maggie Nelson's Bluets embodies true ambiguity. The combination of the lyrical and the essayistic within this book is truly remarkable and makes for an extremely compelling read. Nelson completely defamiliarizes the common associations with the color blue, opening up immense possibilities and honoring so many different meanings of the color at once. She searches for a deeper meaning throughout, providing insight into the human experience of love, pain, and so much more. The writing is intentional and well-crafted, moving toward a poetic feel at times. Thought-provoking and enjoyable, Nelson's Bluets feels like falling in an out of love over and over again with each turn of the page.
