Coffee Days, Whiskey Nights
First Sip in the Morning and Last Sip at Night
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.
Cyrus Parker is a non-binary poet and storyteller,
and the author of multiple collections of poetry.
Hailing from a small coastal town in New Jersey
alongside wife and poetess, Amanda Lovelace,
Cyrus can usually be found at local coffee shops
not writing when they should be, or at home
sipping the occasional glass of whiskey while
mourning the cancellation of Marvel’s Jessica Jones.
