Steven Nightingale je uznávaný autor, který se věnuje poezii, románům a esejím. Jeho literární tvorba je hluboce zakořeněna v prozkoumávání historie, kultury a duchovních tradic, zejména s odkazem na Andalusii a její bohaté dědictví. Nightingale mistrně pracuje se sonetem, formou, která ho fascinuje pro její trvanlivost a schopnost vyjádřit komplexní myšlenky s precizností. Jeho díla často spojují osobní zkušenosti s rozsáhlým historickým a geografickým kontextem, čímž čtenářům nabízí poutavé vhledy do propojenosti světa.
The haiku is an intense, concentrated form, ideal for portraying the atrocious darkness of our times, and also the exaltations of life possible when love and understanding come into unity. In this book of poems, which moves the haiku form towards incantation, we are shown the ferocity of danger before us; and also a way forward―a jailbreak, a healing, the recognition of a place of safety. It's where we know a concord of souls, erotic communion, raw blessing, and rebellion.
