(The grace of Barbra Nightingale’s Geometry of Dreams is i...)
The grace of Barbra Nightingale’s Geometry of Dreams is its fusion of the heart and the mind. These poems of love and loss do not recognize a dichotomy between feeling and intellect, and the result is poems charged with soft music and hard truth.

(Alphalexia! A romp through the alphabet like you never im...)
Alphalexia! A romp through the alphabet like you never imagined. Each poem is a meditation on a letter, all 26 of them! This book digs words out of the dark and brings them to light in a playful, even joyous fashion, for the mere pleasure of sound, and the taste of words on the tongue. Barbra Nightingale's latest collection of poems is truly a unique exploration of what language can and will do!
