Coffee Days, Whiskey Nights

Cyrus Parker

Description

Coffee Days, Whiskey Nights is a collection of poetry, prose, and aphorisms that juxtaposes the hopefulness a brand new day can bring with the lingering thoughts that keep us up into the late-night hours. A lot can happen between the first sip of coffee and the last taste of whiskey, and this book takes a look at the way a single day can change our outlook on everything from relationships with others, to our relationships with ourselves, and everything in between. Ultimately, it illustrates that no matter how hopeless we may feel at the end of a day, a new one is only a few hours away.

With this beautifully vulnerable collection, Cyrus reminds us that no matter what we are feeling, we are never alone. I found truth and comfort in these words and will be reading them again.

A candid and cathartic collection that not only reminds us of the potential in every day to rewrite our own stories, but also reminds us of the balance between light and dark in both our lives and ourselves.
