Produktbeschreibung

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.
