Untrussed

Poems

University of New Mexico Press

Stewart-Nuñez draws upon a number of styles--persona, ekphrastic, lyrical, formal--to create a collection that explores the promises of love and loss. Among Untrussed's many delights is a series of Wonder Woman poems that reveal a heroine who is as human as she is superhuman. From pleasure to pain to hope of new love, this collection draws readers into the everyday magic of the world.

The speaker of these poems takes the reader from romance to divorce, to renewal and reassessment and rebirth. She is always speculative and alert no matter how depressed he is. We love this speaker of the senses, her world packed with signs and memorials.'--Hilda Raz, author of All Odd and Splendid

Christine Stewart-Nuñez is also the author of Keeping Them Alive and Postcard on Parchment (winner of the ABZ First Book Poetry Contest). Her poems and essays have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies.
