STEVEN NIGHTINGALE
Saturday, September 6 at 2 p.m.

The weekend's readings continue with another fine poet (and novelist), Steven Nightingale, who returns to Elliott Bay to read from his third collection of sonnets, Cinnamon Theologies (Black Rock Press, the Book Arts Press at the University of Nevada, Reno). "Steven Nightingale's sonnets are spiritually haunted, observing ordinary life through a lens of cosmic perspective. The poems are bathed in romance and shaped by the introspective love of woman and child. Visionary and independent, the work grows out of a deep love and affinity for the sonnet form, its bones of rhyme and meter." - Joyce Jenkins, Poetry Flash.
