Publisher's Description
Deserted streets, forgotten dusks, closed bars, empty rooms: all become subjects in Book for Lonely Evenings. Written primarily to discuss aloneness and both the obscure comforts and trying pain that accompany it, readers will find they are kept company by strange rhymes, old feelings, and closeted dreams. Meant to be picked up and read intermittently, Book for Lonely Evenings melds faded feelings and lost reminiscences with light, color, and people. It is intended to be a certain kind of comfort in the ceaseless noise of daily goings-on as well as to ask questions about that feeling.

“At turns direct and floral, Ethan’s poems convey a contemplative feeling for introspection. What a delight.”
“The poems in Ethan Ray’s Book for Lonely Evenings seduce you with their keen language but simultaneously haunt and comfort you, too. Wonderfully disorienting, they offer all kinds of linguistic and imagistic surprises. An aged soul is speaking here, from the heart, taking you to all kinds of unexpected places, forcing you to confront some deep-seated thoughts you usually avoid stirring up. You’ll be glad you made the journey.”
