Bourbon & Eventide

by Mike Spry

Poetry. 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. In a collection of tercets—fragments of memory 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 a simple tale of love unrealized.

"...A voice that crackles with biting humour and refreshingly straightforward fury... Spry is consistently capable of achieving levels of raw honesty rarely seen in the work of more seasoned poets."— The Montreal Gazette

Funny, sad, real... reminds me why I'm not in a relationship

I first heard the author read from this and knew I wanted to read more. It is both funny and sad.
