Winter Lyric

an infectious little gem --Whispering StoriesWinter Lyric is the emotional and poetic story of Elliot Stephenson and his relationship with Sarah Benton two drinking buddies that suddenly become romantic partners. With a new found lust for life so profound hes not quite sure what to do with it Elliot delivers a quirky love-manifesto for Sarah documenting his recklessly entertaining fruition of sexual self-discovery. Elliot brilliantly weaves together a breathtakingly honest and cleverly entwined story that fortuitously connects each hedonistic moment of his past and present to a bittersweet realization that life isnt about pleasure seeking but that lifes synchronicity and divine transcendence is the ultimate pleasure that finds us. [A] meditation on all that is gained and all that is lost in every small moment every seemingly meaningless interaction that passes us by and it is told in a voice that is both profound and inimitable. [...] and contains more beauty and pain than should rightly exist in its brief pages. --From the Foreword by Neal OReilly
