Reviews
" Rue is a brilliant meditation on corporeality, history, and what it means to move through the natural and material world--be it a field of pennyroyal or the Dollar General--in a female body. Kathryn Nuernberger's astonishing poems present an urgent and devastating discourse, via many-layered gut-punch narratives, of the complex ways in which we are connected to one another that together become a powerful reckoning on female strength and desire in the #MeToo era." --Erika Meitner, author of Holy Moly, Carry Me "This collection lets you open yourself to the possibility of truth stripped bare of the cultural baggage that keeps us from speaking our minds to strangers and friends and lovers alike. Let Rue bewitch you, let it charm you, as rue strung around the neck to keep your vision sharp and deflect from plague and remedy what ails you. Let it locate what ails you, and extract it with whatever needs to be said." --Jennifer Givhan, author of Rosa's Einstein "These long, chattering poems offer so much warmth and intimacy of voice that we hardly notice Kathyrn Nuernberger has talked us straight into confrontations with some of the most sinister aspects of Western modernity. The animal violence underlying bourgeois decorum, the suffocating brutality of our patriarchy, and the gross and beastly truths of our human sexuality are all lined up here. Nuernberger knocks them down one by one with cutting humor, a breadth of erudition and book smarts, and the reassuring potency of her feminism." --Jaswinder Bolina, author of The 44th of July "Kathryn Nuernberger's remarkable collection Rue asks what it means to know another person, how imagination and action intersect to shape our experiences of love and desire. I adore how her poems show a mind in motion, its obsessions, its honesties. I adore its deft syntax winding us from a love of nature to the nature of love, interrogating what it means to love complicated people in history and in the present--what it is to be a complicated person. Among the book's questions concern the female body--who gets to control it and how, who imperils it and under what guise of professionalism or friendship, and what flowers let women control it for themselves." --Traci Brimhall, author of Saudade
Synopsis
Kathryn Nuernberger's third poetry collection infuses fact and folklore with a fiercely feminist ecopoetic soul to reclaim love and resilience in an age of cruelty.As she continues to explore scientific thought through a poetic lens, Nuernberger turns her gaze to the science and folklore surrounding plants historically used for birth control. As the speaker, an artist and intellectual, finds herself living through a rocky marriage in conservative rural America, she turns to the hardiest plants around her to survive. Her ethnobotanical portraits of common herbs like Queen Anne's lace and pennyroyal are interwoven with lyric biographies of pioneering women ecologists.With a skeptical eye to the stories left untold in textbooks and an unflinching account of patriarchal abuse during an OBGYN exam, Nuernberger scrutinizes the sanctioned history of medicine and marriage. With equal parts righteous fury and tender wisdom, Rue reclaims the past and recontextualizes the present to tell a story about breaking down, breaking through, and breaking into an honest, authentic expression of self., Kathryn Nuernberger's third poetry collection infuses fact and folklore with a fiercely feminist ecopoetic soul to reclaim love and resilience in an age of cruelty.

As the speaker--an artist and intellectual--finds herself living through a rocky marriage in a conservative rural state, she maintains her sense of identity by studying the science and folklore of plants historically used for birth control. Her botanical portraits of common herbs like Queen Anne's lace and pennyroyal are interwoven with lyric biographies of groundbreaking women ecologists whose stories have been left untold in textbooks. With equal parts righteous fury and tender wisdom, Rue reassesses the past and recontextualizes the present to tell a story about breaking down, breaking through, and breaking into an honest, authentic expression of self.

- _***a (24)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem was shipped quickly, and was securely packaged. Items was in at least as good a condition as described; it may actually be in better condition than described, as the book looks almost new and unread. Given the great condition of the book, the price was an exceptional value. Furthermore, I made contact with the seller with a query; and, they got back to me very quickly, and were able to answer all my questions. Overall, a great transaction. I would buy from this seller again. Thanks!
- l***i (231)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book arrived as described and as pictured. It shipped quickly, but was shipped in only a plastic bag mailer, so not much protection. I will also forewarn, the seller does not answer questions about the specific condition of a book. I know because I asked if two different books had any writing in the margins and received the same pre-generated response both times declining to answer. Despite this, I would still recommend this seller if you are willing to shoulder that risk buying used books
- i**** (3657)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufQuick ship and excellent communication. As described in listing. Hardback book a good value for the money. It was packaged in a very thin plastic covering with no padding. The book was fine and not damaged. Delivered on time. I ordered from this seller over the last couple of years. I like to read Beatrice Small's books. A+
