"In this new collection of poems by E. Doyle Gillespie, Gillespie once again demonstrates how he is truly a master of his craft. Each poem in The Slow Lament of Dying Ice will transport the reader to smoke filled cafes, shadowy conversations whispered over glasses of crimson wine, and cobbled stones leading the reader to stories they'll never forget.
"Gillespie's poems present an apt study of the human condition - whether the observed wants those characteristics shared or not. Nothing misses his keen eye and sharp quill. He weaves beautifully visual storytelling with harsh truths. These poem reads not just like a story you listen to with bated breath, but as though Gillespie is weaving together folklore. It is dark, gritty, and you won't want to put the book down."
