Christopher Sunset reinvigorates the architecture of society's captive and captivating imaginations.

His poems have been widely anthologized, including in the Best American Poetry series. He lives in Manhattan with his family.
Trade Review"Thank goodness for Geoffrey Nutter, whose poetry seems to be powered equally by sunlight, virtue, wonder, and humility...Geoffrey Nutter has handed us a book that records the motions of being human, enacting it in language that leads to a passionate feeling of overflow." --Rain Taxi "Nutter sees things the rest of us do not ... Water's Leaves has the effect of entering a gallery filled with landscape paintings one has never seen ... too beautiful to be missed." --Time Out Chicago
