Overview

From a popular writer with strong poetry and LGBT community connections, comes an exploration of the optimism a cup of coffee can bring to the lingering whiskey-fuelled thoughts that keep us up late at night
 

A lot can happen between the first sip of coffee and the last taste of whiskey.

Coffee Days, Whiskey Nights is a collection of poetry, prose, and aphorisms that juxtaposes the hopefulness a brand new day can bring with the lingering thoughts that keep us up into the late-night hours. This book takes a look at the way a single day can change our outlook on everything from relationships with others, to our relationships with ourselves, and everything in between.

"With this beautifully vulnerable collection, Parker reminds us that no matter what we are feeling, we are never alone. I found truth and comfort in these words and will be reading them again."—Makenzie Campbell, Author of 2am Thoughts

“An honest, tender, and inspiring collection. It's a reminder to forge ahead and never give up on yourself.” —K. Y. Robinson, Author of The Chaos of Longing

Ultimately, this book illustrates that no matter how hopeless we may feel at the end of a day, a new one is only a few hours away.

Featuring a Q&A with amanda lovelace and Parker Lee.

“With this beautifully vulnerable collection, Parker reminds us that no matter what we are feeling, we are never alone. I found truth and comfort in these words and will be reading them again.”—Makenzie Campbell, author of 2am Thoughts


“coffee days whiskey nights is an honest, tender, and inspiring collection. It's a reminder to forge ahead and never give up on yourself.”–K.Y. Robinson, author of The Chaos of Longing


“Parker Lee will engage with you through their journey by showing you the pondering thoughts that the human imagination conjures up during the day and night. The themes of the poems carry the weight of Lee's personal skirmishes; from self-image conflicts and gender dysphoria, to wondering about how to keep the flames of passion roaring. coffee days whiskey nights is the outcome of a person who has experienced and triumphed over the oncoming battles of life.” – Wilber A. Flores (The Indie Journal), bookseller at Indigo


“A candid and cathartic collection that not only reminds us of the potential in every day to rewrite our own stories, but also reminds us of the balance between light and dark in both our lives and ourselves.” —Kayla Roy, Bookseller at An Unlikely Story Bookstore and Café

Author Biography

Parker Lee (formerly known as Cyrus Parker) is a non-binary poet and storyteller, as well as the author of multiple collections of poetry, including their latest, coffee days whiskey nights. Hailing from a small coastal town in New Jersey alongside wife and poetess amanda lovelace―as well as their three cats―Parker can almost always be found at home, not writing when they should be, drinking too much coffee, and pretending their kitchen is their favorite café.

Fans call Parker's writing "incredible", "absolutely beautiful", and "perfectly written".
