They cycle through the traumatic residue of dysfunctional relationships and explore the complexities of Latinx representation through a series of ekphrastic poems. The collection also reimagines Nicaragua as a homeland set in a volcanic landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach section contains a series of poetic variations on a theme, and the poems reverberate through the indeterminacy of language. Najarro's \u003cem\u003eVariations in Blue\u003c\/em\u003e insists that the complexities of experience must be understood one version at a time, each distinctly unfolding its unique design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461763940588,"sku":"9781636282749","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781636282749-variations-in-blue.jpg?v=1774976605","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/variations-in-blue-by-adela-najarro-9781636282749","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
