Christopher Sunset cover

We will be making a more substantial push on Christopher Street than previous of Nutter's titles have benefited from. Releasing during National Poetry Month, and being an excellent candidate for both critical attention and academic course adoption, the book will be marketed as an indispensable and instructive collection. We will be sending galley copies of Christopher Sunset to all major media outlets, as well as to more specialized pop. culture and literary venues. (See also: Author Tour)

Poetry as a complete reinvention of the known world, converting attention into rituals of unfolding spectacle."Could it be that Wallace Stevens and Gertrude Stein met in Elysium and had a son named Geoffrey Nutter?"-John Yau Bearing the visionary inheritance of ancient Chinese poets and early twentieth-century painters, Geoffrey Nutter casts a penetrating light into the colorfully shifting landscape of modern existence. Christopher Sunset reinvigorates the architecture of society's captive and captivating imaginations. Geoffrey Nutter is the author of Water's Leaves & Other Poems (Verse Press) and A Summer Evening (Center for Literary Publishing). His poems have been widely anthologized, including in the Best American Poetry series. He lives in Manhattan with his family.

"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
