Bourbon & Eventide - Softcover

Memory has no chronology. Its narrative exists in fractions, slivers of the past open to interpretation. Bourbon & Eventide confronts the history and mythology of a failed couple, and through a subjective narrator finds humour and heartbreak in the story of the flawed pair. Through a collection of tercets--that could stand alone, but together tell a more complete story of a couple's past and failure--Mike Spry blends wit and honesty to bring to life the simple tale of love unrealized.
