We're all an indigo hue without you
It's a blue, blue world
It's unsurprising that it came up right at the end, since this reminded me a lot to Wittgenstein's Tractatus in its structure. I was amazed by how Maggie Nelson was able to get so much of the unutterable to sing, and by how many disciplines she invoked to build this bower/bouquet. It's not just about her relationship to the color blue, but rather through this color an exploration of grief, desire, art/film theory, sex, phenomenology, anthropology and so much more. There is a whole world here.
