Moonflower In Autumn Rain: Collection Of Short Stories & Poems

A daring collection of surreal, unforgettably sentimental stories. Moonflower in Autumn Rain is a deeply poetic, and at once, tragically mundane-microscopic look at the uncertain reality of human longing. Stone, with the subtlety of a swan's feather, and the guttural, unshakeable edge of the butcher's knife-crafts worlds where the ocean can steal a deaf girl's father; a memory of a friend's harmonica can unravel a joyless existence; and a distant, blue fire may burn away a long-repressed loneliness. Centered on static feelings of alienation, Stone describes-through sharing a sea-salt popsicle under a carousel-or watching a baseball game with a man who claims to be from Venus; the unsettling, and fantastically beautiful foundation for what it means to be human. Coupled with complementary, quiet poems is also a novella, entitled: Violet Amandrea. A psychological, haunting romance about a violin player who is assured that she's dead.
