Her botanical portraits of common herbs like Queen Anne's lace and pennyroyal are interwoven with lyric biographies of groundbreaking women ecologists whose stories have been left untold in textbooks.</p> <p>With equal parts righteous fury and tender wisdom, <i>Rue</i> reassesses the past and recontextualizes the present to tell a story about breaking down, breaking through, and breaking into an honest, authentic expression of self.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Kathryn Nuernberger is the author of two previous poetry collections, <i>The End of Pink </i> and <i>Rag & Bone. </i>She has also written a collection of lyric essays, <i>Brief Interviews with the Romantic Past. </i>Fascinated by the history of science and the natural world, she has received research fellowships from the H.
