Book for Lonely Evenings

Deserted streets, forgotten dusks, closed bars, empty rooms: all become subjects in Book for Lonely Evenings. Written primarily to discuss aloneness and both the obscure comforts and trying pain that accompany it, readers will find they are kept company by strange rhymes, old feelings, and closeted dreams. Meant to be picked up and read intermittently, Book for Lonely Evenings melds faded feelings and lost reminiscences with light, color, and people. It is intended to be a certain kind of comfort in the ceaseless noise of daily goings-on as well as to ask questions about that feeling.
