Seven Other Songs and Seven Other Stories

ML Sund's second collection of short stories and poems (in the form of song lyrics) showcases his creative depth. Here we join a police academy graduate who privately struggles with guilt over his hidden crime ("The Other Side"); a student in mid-sixties Alabama who finds an unlikely and forbidden protector ("Sanctuary"); a reclusive artist in Denmark who is forced into a life-changing decision ("Miles"); a single father and son who stumble upon a chance to become famous ("Lenny LeBlanc"); a middle-aged man whose trip to San Diego revives memories of a decades-old family tragedy ("Watershed"); a young model from New York who sets her life on a meaningful course following a shocking incident in Italy ("Model Citizen"); and a former ball player in Iowa who puts everything on the line to win back his high school sweetheart; and seven sets of song lyrics that transport us to intimate settings and secret spaces.
