Winter Lyric

By: Michael Whone

Winter Lyric is the poetic and emotionally touching story of Elliot Stephenson, a thirty-one year old ex-musician. Elliot is down on his luck, jobless, and hasn't had love in his life since being struck with schizo-affective disorder, a bipolar form of schizophrenia, ten years ago.Elliot's life is turned right-side up again when he meets Sarah Benton, a twenty year old environmental science major. Together, they bond through adventurous drinking-in the city, outdoors, and while performing music. An alcohol-infused romance arises, but the emotions may be too much for Elliot, in his sobering and philosophical realizations of love."[A] meditation on all that is gained, and all that is lost, in every small moment, every seemingly meaningless interaction that passes us by, and it is told in a voice that is both profound and inimitable. [...] and contains more beauty and pain than should rightly exist in its brief pages." -From the Foreword by Neal O'ReillyMichael Whone cleverly weaves together, in his first major work, a story of the transcendence of love, lost innocence, self-discovery and the societal boundaries that are characteristic of the scatterbrained nature of the talented and exceptional Elliot Stephenson.
