Alphabet Soup

A Memoir in Letters

ebook
0 of 1 copy available
Wait time: About 4 weeks
"At once experimental literature and alchemical apparatus — designed to take all the flavours of one man's life experiences and transform them into something that nourishes." — ANDREA THOMPSON, author of A Selected History of Soul Speak
A tasty yet experimental recipe of creative memoir in poetic prose cooked up for your consumption — one letter at a time.

Alphabet Soup is a poetic exploration of the deeper meaning discovered by stirring up the depths of one's most personal lived experiences. Twenty-six letters, one missive addressed to each letter of the alphabet, dive into the scalding heat of memory through themes that recall and reframe love, death, joy, sorrow, victory, devastation, and more.
Using prose that is by turns startling, revelatory, humorous, sorrowful, and triumphant, these introspections on the nature of living engage the mind and heart in the difficult, unending work of grappling with one's past in the present, with the hope it can help create a more satisfying future.
