“My little butt!” She is equally enthralled with Dodge. Nelson the narrator is a doting mother crazy over her baby Iggy’s butt - “My baby!” she exclaims in wonder. “The Argonauts” explores desire, identity, love and language by way of Nelson’s experiences of pregnancy and queer family-making. “I’ve never been able to answer to comrade,” she wrote in “The Argonauts,” the 2015 memoir that turned her from a critically lauded poet and critic into a best-selling author, helping to earn her the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism, a MacArthur grant and a post at the University of Southern California’s English department.
