“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.
