Christine Stewart-Nuñez announces publication and virtual book launch for her newest book of poetry, The Poet & The Architect
Wednesday, June 16, 2021
Christine Stewart-Nuñez announced that her new book of poetry, The Poet & The Architect, is now on sale on Amazon with an official publication date of June 30.
Poet and KHN advisory board member Grace Bauer writes: "In The Poet & The Architect, Christine Stewart-Nuñez explores how the disciplines we devote our lives to influence how we view the world and, subsequently, interact with each other. If, as Louis Sullivan says in the book’s epigraph, an architect must possess “the intuition of a poet,” the poet/speaker in this collection must also learn to construct her own “body of work” “using the material / one has.” That material includes the relationship the poet and the architect build from the “trussed ruins” of their pasts and the blended family they create and nurture together. “My husband writes shelter,” Stewart-Nuñez says, “I architect spells.” They are spells she invites us to enter and take shelter in."
A virtual book launch sponsored by the Brookings Public Library and the South Dakota Arts Council will be held on June 24, 6:30-7:30 p.m. (central)
