"Blue and Purple" by Francis Neilson is a passionate collection of poems that pulls you into a vivid world of romance and natural beauty. The poems are all about love, especially the kind that makes your heart soar, and how it connects to everything around us. With lots of bright images and comparisons, Neilson introduces us to Hebe, the subject of the speaker's deep affection. Her character inspires joy, and each poem carefully looks at the different parts of their relationship: the strong desire, admiration, and the soothing, healing parts of intense love. Nature plays a big part too, with gardens and flowers reflecting the speaker’s feelings and the beauty that can be discovered when you connect with someone you love. It's a celebration of how love can change things and link people together in deep and meaningful ways.
