Cataract Blues: Running the Keyboard

In his latest book, Award-winning author Roger Rosenblatt charts a journey that is as visual as it is poetic. Cataract Blues, on the surface, is a collection of lyric fragments. A careful reading rewards bibliophiles (and optical aficionados) with a nuanced thoughtful machine that is about seeing, the eyes, eyesight, cataracts, the blues, and more. At once a masterpiece of prose writing and a poetic experiment, Cataract Blues invites readers to consider new approaches to the visual (and the literary).
