Synopsis
From the natural world to war and politics, from memories of childhood to bittersweet snapshots of everyday life, from wry asides to fantastical flights of narrative fantasy - Kona Macphee applies her versatile and polished technique to a characteristic diversity of themes in her second book of poems. The meticulously crafted lyrical poems of Perfect Blue reflect the growing power of a distinctively original, musical, and compassionate voice that laments the transience and fragility of life while celebrating the joy of truly living it. ""A fine read and shouldn't be missed for poetry collections.""-The Midwest Book Review
