Description
Book Synopsis"Nutter is a true believer in the power of art, which is the power that produces these beautiful and vital poems."--Mark Levine In his fourth collection, Geoffrey Nutter beckons us into his lush imagination--where bygone monoliths cast shadows over new landscapes--a world of dreams, rife with unexpected encounters. We are everywhere, instantly; the electric stations crackle on full power, running on the ghost impulses of the waterfalls. Geoffrey Nutter is the author of Christopher Sunset, Water's Leaves and Other Poems, and A Summer Evening. He currently teaches at New York University.
