Publisher's Synopsis
'American Nocturne,'' Elisabeth Stevens' sixth book of poetry, is unfettered, wide-ranging. Unlike her fifth collection, ''Sirens' Songs'', which was selected by ''Kirkus Reviews'' as one of the hundred best indie books of 2011 and focused intensely on romantic and sexual liaisons, ''American Nocturne'' explores a world-wide geography and more, ranging expansively from continent to continent, from reality to dream.
