Music of the Dark Guitar: Seven Stories

About the Book

These stories are about rebirth: learning to live in the world again after facing an emotional and spiritual desert, facing the landscape of the West while seeking the spirituality of the East. Most of the nine stories rely upon imagery and sound to create meaning where “story” ends and silence begins.
