I’m happy to announce publication of my book, In the Lap of Night, Selected Poems 1990-2020, published by Still Lake Press. To purchase see below.

Qualities which distinguish Nadine Boughton’s accomplished visual art find compelling expression in her poetry: insight into eras and cultures, an awareness of the sensual body and a keen alertness to loss. Beneath their memorable images and narratives, these poems, (Nadine’s) “pockets of pollen,” speak of renewal, earned with the light of honest observation and the selflessness of empathy.
Matthew Swift, Director, Matthew Swift Gallery

Fierce and graceful, these poems are a strand of crystalline lakes set in deep green forest, revealing with exquisite clarity intimate moments in the poet’s life. We are brought to edges of surprise, laughter, raw astonishment and tenderness. Nadine’s work is delightfully accessible and simultaneously deep beyond measure.
Sage Magdalene, Soul Initiation Guide, Animas Valley Institute

In the Lap of Night is a poetic oracle, a sensory tapestry of life from crowning to croning. Nadine’s collection, gathered from thirty years of writing, is a murmuration of starlings weaving back on itself to revisit threads of life again and again. It is like a Cooper’s hawk on the roof pinnacle, with an expansive view of the yard yet tuned to small movements in any corner.
Annie Powell, Author, Facilitator, Living from Your Light
