Written by award-winning performance poet Joseph Coelho, goodnight, Starry Night is a collection of fourteen poems that takes readers on a gentle journey into dreamland.

This book is titled after Van Gogh's renowned painting, Starry Night. The masterpiece has served as the inspiration for Coelho's exquisite and poignant poem titled River Sky.

I gaze upon the starry night
It twists into a river-sky
my every breath, a swirling light
I gaze upon the starry night.

This one-of-a-kind book also includes poems influenced by David Hockney's Sleeping Dogs, Vivian Maier's Woman with Baby, and Faith Ringgold's quilted artwork of Cassie Lightfoot soaring through a nighttime atmosphere.
