Your writing intrigued me. I don't always see authors in their words, but throughout "Goodbye Days", I couldn't ignore that there was a person and a life behind the chapters. For all I know, the story could be true; it didn't seem like it was gnawing at the elastic edges of reality. It felt like a conversation - no easy thing to accomplish. I feel that you are like me in your thoughts. Can you share more of them?

Thanks Alina! GOODBYE DAYS isn’t true for me on a factual level—I’ve never lost three friends at a go as the result of my conduct. But it’s true on an emotional level. All of what’s in GOODBYE DAYS is stuff I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about and reflecting on.

In the Wild Light is by far the best book I’ve ever read, and the impact it had on my love for poetry still sticks with me. Is there any way I could get access to The Gospel of Winds without making the trip to Tennessee? I can’t get enough of your poetry. In the Wild Light and Sunrise Nights were incredible, and now I’m hungry for more!

Hi! I love how musical both The Serpent King and Goodbye Days are! I'm not a musician by any means but I love to listen to music, I can say that reading your books is the closest I've been to understanding how musicians think about the world and about music in general. I wonder about the song that Dearly plays in Goodbye Days, does it exist? I am so curious to listen to it! (or any of his songs really) Thank you!
