Lynne Thompsonâs Blue on a Blue Palette reflects on the condition of womenâtheir joys despite their histories, and their insistence on survival as issues of race, culture, pandemic, and climate threaten their livelihoods. The documentation of these personal odysseysâwhich vary stylistically from abecedarians to free verse to centosâreplicate the many ways women travel through the stages of their lives, all negotiated on a palette encompassing various shades of blue. These poems demand your attention, your voice: âSay history. Claim. Say wild.â
