Thoughts on Tonight Nathan Reid

Thoughts on Tonight is the debut collection of poet and spoken word artist, Nathan J. Reid, in which nighttime scenes are used to explore ideas of love, loss, appreciation for the here and now, and the process of transformation. Music and nature are celebrated as the poems weave their way through caverns, bedrooms, car rides, and shifting realities, with cultural references ranging from Tom Waits to Stephen Hawking. Reid's fondness for astronomy provides an infrastructure for his own philosophies and unique sense of spiritualism, while the layered, though deceptively simple language makes this an accessible read for all.
