Still Blue collects Goldring's key work across the decades in poetry and images. As a poet and visual artist who is legally blind, Goldring explores different ways of seeing--through the concision of poetic syntax, through her innovative experiments with the scanning laser ophthalmoscope as an MIT researcher, and through poems that consider vision, its loss, disability more broadly, human mortality, natural beauty, and the poet's response to war. The stunning visual images of the human retina offer bold statements of color, montage, and technological exploration.
