Habit of Blues

This is poet and award-winning journalist Judith Fitzgerald’s fourteenth book, following Ultimate Midnight (Black Moss Press) and Rapturous Chronicles (Mercury), nominated for a 1991 Governor General’s Award for Poetry.

"Fitzgerald’s book is a powerful voicing of ‘forbidden’ feelings, those very emotions that mark us as human."— American Book Review

Habit of Blues is a continuation and extension of Rapturous Chronicles. A tour de force of wild and beautiful language, heartbreaking insight, drama and wordplay, Habit of Blues is part of that unfashionable, timeless tradition— the love story.
