Steven Nightingale’s sonnets are spiritually haunted, observing ordinary life through a lens of cosmic perspective. The poems are bathed in romance and shaped by the introspective love of woman and child. Visionary and independent, the work grows out of a deep love and affinity for the sonnet form, its bones of rhyme and meter.

Steven Nightingale is faithful to his name, being the invisible singer of sonnets disguised in form but overheard as a master should be.  He addresses the world. Steven is a throwback to art with the morning air of reality.
