Many of the poems in this chapbook will be familiar to frequent visitors of the open mic venues popular in the Northwest Florida Panhandle.

The result is a collection of darker poetry that speaks in favor of the inevitable pain that comes from living as it tends to polish off our sharp edges and reveal our better selves.

It begins when our antihero finds what we all desire-hope and purpose. The second book after Bitter Suites (2018 Bram Stoker Finalist for Long Fiction), Suite & Sour continues the quest for the perfect renewable death experience. Unfortunately, like most good things, greed, fear and herd mentality mess everything up. How can a guy navigate a world where you can't depend on anything... even death?

In our lives, there are altars and oubliettes-the things we want to remember and the things we hope to forget. This collection explores the things we both idolize and abhor. Above all things is the message to live authentically and well. No matter how long the night seems, there will always be stars to guide us.
