C W BuckleyAnswering the post-truth culture, C.W. Buckley's writing looks for permanence in the intersection between geek culture, conscience, faith, and fatherhood. From the East Bay Area to Seattle, from San Francisco to the Pacific Northwest, these poems expore the texture of the natural and urban worlds unique to the Pacific Coast. Together, they function as bluing: a ferrous compound once used to enhance the perception of color and brightness. In a world of bleach, bluing is the alternative-less clinical, more aesthetic, and largely forgotten as a relic of the past. The poems of Bluing invite the reader to hang onto what lasts, and to treasure the old as part of the new. A fourth generation West Coast native, Buckley lives and works in Seattle with his family.
