Produktbeschreibung
JP Stone is a has-been "bot-poet" and a disgruntled academic coasting into a rather bleak retirement in his secluded quarters in a high rise. He was in love once, briefly. Now he wages silent, psychological warfare against those around him. But then a stranger comes to town. She wants to meet him and he knows what she will ask. But she needn't meet him to know the answer. The answer is no. He has proof. Spirit Lake is his proof, his rude greeting, his disavowal, and his strange goodbye. Darkly Bright Press is pleased to present Spirit Lake, an elegiac confrontation between a man and his tragic past. In this complex character study, the author explores the borderlands which superficially divide poetry, technology and mysticism. Stone is a hunted man on the run to the scorched mountainsides of the Southwest where the veil between this world and the next is ghostly thin.
