About Four Blue Eggs
Finalist in the 2013 Homebound Publications Poetry Prize
About the Book: Four Blue Eggs is sense music, an exploration of beginnings and of endings. In this collection of poems, Amy Nawrocki intuits fireflies and sapphires, observes gardens rooted in glasses of water, and tests the bindings of old books. Solace abounds—in winter’s white, in the hefty doors of an Oldsmobile, in half melted candles. Stick figures walk in this terrestrial moonscape, birds nest in improbable trees, daughters survive without mothers and fathers. Her poems propose that though “we earn the favor of being by breaking,” the pieces are salvageable; bruises heal from the inside through the universe’s infinite surrogacy. The collection contemplates how to tether the salty wounds of sadness, how to find our treeness, and how to say good bye.

US-China Cultural Exchange
Thurs. August 8, 2013. I read poems from my three collections and had a great time interacting with the delegates from China. Thanks to Prof. Weng for purchasing 80 books to give to them. A true cultural exchange.
