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. AMERICAN NOCTURNE begins with a Manhattan sunset (the title poem) moves across the country, concludes in a sun-animated hospital solarium back in New York City. In between, the poet visits a North Carolina pizza parlor, a tour boat in Dunedin, New Zealand, and drives a mysterious passenger on a bureaucratic, night errand before realizing that her companion is “no longer living.” Later, in “Voyage,” an ancient death ship ventures to “the edge of the earth,” and, in “Arachne,” a powerful spider offers the possibility of transfiguration. In “Planting Trees,” the death of trees is by the assertion: “I’ll plant as long as I can.

Observations of biological objects almost seem like summary case studies By Critically thinking Searcher This short book of twenty-four new poems is divided in three sections, whether or not by sense of category probably depends on the reader. The title poem deals with the inexorable passage of darkness in an impressionistic and representational way. The book in general contains many instances of temporal and spatial merging, sometimes physical, sometimes what I view as supernatural imagining—“could-it-be-that-way portraying.” In other cases, perception and change of frozen precipitation--circumstances that they relate to, or how they co-occur--are the backdrop. Connections or their lack are often a mode. Observations of biological objects almost seem like summary case studies. Pressures of personal interactions including social posturing are plopped down. Water as venue is incorporated. The spider's silk web domain is like a water column profile. This volume is a very personalized look at real and imagined experiences that does not involve many individual human characters. It presumes a fair amount of classical and specialty knowledge on the part of the reader or the willingness to acquire it. I think it is worth perusing for most. You are unlikely to find anything else quite like it. But, if you are overwhelmed with contemplating death, it may not be for you.

I really likes the modern feel of the poems. The were easy enough to understand, but had incredibly depth. One of my favorite poems of the volume is "Lost Petunias". For poetry lovers who have not picked this one up yet, I say give it a try! There are poems about life, nature, travel and loads more!
