The Time The Stars Came Down: New And Selected Poetry

Celebrating our capacity to experience life, from an ode to a wooden spoon to a song of the stars, this collection gives us a new dimension in Sally A. Kitt Chappell's poetry. She explores the universal experiences of myth, art, politics, love and death where the personal and the universal intersect. in luminous imagery her lyrics seem to expands in ever-widening circles of metaphorical meaning. Although she has written poetry all her life, Chappell is also an architectural historian. Her ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING OF GRAHAM, ANDERSON, PROBST AND WHITE (University of Chicago Press) won the Association of American Publishers award for the best book in architecture in 1992. During sabbaticals from DePaul University in Chicago she wrote two ground-breaking books on the interplay of landscape and culture, CAHOKIA: MIRROR OF THE COSMOS and CHICAGO's URBAN NATURE: A GUIDE TO THE CITY's ARCHITECTURE & LANDSCAPE. She has also contributed frequently to the Travel Section of THE NEW YORK TIMES. An anthology of her writing, WORDS WORK, appeared in 2009. Two of her poetry collections were published recently, SHARDS in 2011 and SO FAR in 2013. For more information visit sallychappell.com and YouTube: http: //bit.ly/eNLZtV.
