?In A Matter of Blue, we read that blue is what we would like to cultivate, something that clings to bees? feet and the poet?s lips, something that can be used as a basis for composition or creation, something that is inherent in the gaze of the dark-eyed women . . .??Dawn Cornelio. A Matter of Blue is the most successful book by Maulpoix, author of over 25 French collections of poetry and the rightful heir to the 150-year tradition of French prose poetry--from goodreads.com.
