More Blue

By Josie Emmons Turner

In More Blue, Josie Emmons Turner brings us the life of her husband, Northwest painter William Turner, in his own words, weaving his story as artist, Navy sailor, traveler with hers as poet, lover, wife. In his sailor voice, we range from the China Sea to the Mekong Delta, and in his traveler's voice, from the Serengeti to Khartoum, his artist's eye informing his words, his language alternately sailor coarse and lyrical. Framing his words with hers, the poet explores art, love, and loss, weaving a colorful tapestry, a moving affirmation of their lives together, the power of love, and a testimony to the power of art to overcome loss.
