Official synopsis Publisher
“Through textured landscapes and vivid, bittersweet memories, Mary Lou Buschi invites us into a life in which “not everyone wants to be found.” These restrained and tender poems which explore grief, family and growing up Catholic in the 1970s also speak to the riddles of life, death and haunting. In a world where “a Cardinal with one wing whispers our names” and where “white clouds, the size of Bowhead whales” loom in our atmosphere, what does it mean to love and to remember? Blue Physics captures the essence of what it means to “open your mouth wide when you bite the sun,” to acknowledge the burdens, mysteries and magic all around us as we go on “aiming at some cold invisible moon,” and even as we “disappear into a flask of light.”
