BLUE ROSE
BLUE ROSE by Carol Muske-Dukes is a collection of emotionally rich, issue-oriented poems from an award-winning poet.
Carol Muske-Dukes has won acclaim for poetry that marries sophisticated intelligence, emotional resonance, and lyrical intensity. The poems in her new collection, BLUE ROSE, navigate around the idea of the unattainable the elusive nature of poetry, of knowledge, of the fact that we know so little of the lives of others and of the world in which we live. Some poems respond to matters of women, birth, and the struggle for reproductive rights, or to issues like gun control and climate change, while others draw inspiration from the lives of women who persisted outside of convention, in poetry, art, science: the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker; the scientist and X-ray crystallographer Rosalyn Franklin; and the California poet and writer Ina Coolbrith, the first poet laureate ever appointed in America.
Award winner: Muske-Dukes is the recipient of many awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the di Castagnola Prize from the Poetry Society of America, and the 2012 Writers for Writing Award from Barnes and Noble and Poets and Writers; her 2004 collection, Sparrow, was a finalist for the National Book Award.
Well connected: Muske-Dukes is well regarded in the poetry world; her admirers include Jorie Graham, Mark Doty, Eavan Boland, Donald Justice, Billy Collins and Mark Strand, among others.
Carol Muske-Dukes is the author of eight books of poems, including Sparrow, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; four novels; two collections of essays; and Crossing State Lines: An American Renga, co-edited with Bob Holman. She is Professor of English and Creative Writing at the University of Southern California, and was California Poet Laureate from 2008 to 2011.
