In this captivating collection, Stacy Stephens invites readers into the liminal space between dusk and dawn, where imagination roams free and the mundane world dissolves into something more profound.
Nocturne explores the quiet magic of moonlit hours when most of the world sleeps but poets, dreamers, and wanderers find themselves most alive. From The Witching Hour to Watching Night Fall Across the City, Stephens crafts luminous poems that illuminate the beauty and mystery of night.
With lyrical precision and evocative imagery, these poems traverse city streets bathed in neon, abandoned highways under star-filled skies, and intimate spaces where candles flicker and coffee brews at 3 a.m. Stephens creates a nocturnal landscape both familiar and otherworldly, populated by moon nymphs, celestial bodies, and solitary figures seeking connection in the darkness.
Like Emily Dickinson out with lanterns, looking for myself, Stephens uses the night as both mirror and window-reflecting inner truths while opening vistas to realms unseen by daylight. Nocturne celebrates those who find their truest selves when the moon rises and conventional boundaries fade into shadow.
