"Blueier Blue interweaves the 9 sections of a piece from the early 1990s, Blue Horizon (which was published in my collection Ex Why Zee) along with the 9 pieces of Blueier which were written a decade later — by using material culled during a subsequent trip to Bermuda (the occasion for the original Blue Horizon) and using it, a word or phrase at a time, to 'translate' the material in Blue Horizon — often based on parallels in the first letter of a word or phrase. For Blueier Blue, the earlier material follows the more recent, but within the sweep of continuous prose."
