Description

Pantheism and synesthesia are his visionary rules . . . severe, contagious fun.Boston Review

How much of what we call seeing is actually believing Geoffrey Nutter asks in his dazzling second collection. The quiet, daring water voices of these poems carry the reader into their serious play, in settings as varied as the Tappan Zee Bridge and the inside of a flower, turning language touchable and words into music.

Geoffrey Nutter was born in Sacramento, California. He is the author of A Summer Evening, winner of the 2001 Colorado Prize. His poems have appeared in The Best American Poetry 1997 and The Iowa Anthology of New American Poetries. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, daughter, and son.
