Bøker av Jennifer Gordon

Blue Colored Muse is a collection of poetry inspired by the Great Lakes State and the talented artists who call it home. Throughout the book, artwork is featured from the realms of photography, oil painting, wood burning, drawing, body painting and more. All artwork is by Michigan based artists, giving the reader a glimpse at the pure beauty of their home state. The author has then used these incredible artistic creations to inspire her words, producing a collection like no other. Each poem is built upon the lessons we learn from the natural world, the humbling power of nature, and the deeper questions of our souls, which can often be answered by connecting our human experience to the outside world. Enhanced by the canvas of artistic expression, these poems are designed to resonate with the reader, inspire a stirring drive for nature, and pay homage to the wonderful world of self expression.

In 1992 Gordon founded the Workplace Project to help immigrant workers in the underground suburban economy of Long Island. She weaves together Latino immigrant life and legal activism to tell the tale of how the most vulnerable workers in society came together to demand fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect from employers.
