Just finished reading The Whippoorwill's Song by C. B. Carter on Kindle. Awesome storytelling, the best book I've read in a while. The author states it's a short story but it reads like romantic era writing, more like a novella, a poem in narrative. I think the best way to give him credit is to quote from his website: Now this is just a quote, (the whole story is written like this but it flows so well)... "True, I am jealous of the suns warmth, of its glow and it must be equally true, she is jealous of my humanity, my prospect for love, the passion of my nights. For the sun by its mere charisma has never seen the dark of night, whereas, I’ve seen them both and have loved under the opus of each." I mean, no one writes like that anymore. In the end, I had hope for the true romantics in the world... Has anyone else read it? I think this is one of those books that will just sneak up on the poetry community, it's a game changer.
