Hear the voices coming up from the storm of hope and suffering.
An immigrant cobbler sees his son wrongly arrested by a man whose shoes he shines. The memory of a child's deceased mother is betrayed as boyhood friends use her makeup for a prank. A waitress loves a quiet man who atones for his troubled past by meticulously refurbishing an old house. The footsteps of a lost love haunt a man as he retraces them across the floor of his empty apartment. A storm looms on the edge of each character's world, culminating the intensely colored portraits of Elynia into one lyrical, exalted mosaic.
Storms come and go and in our apocalyptic era grow monstrous. In Elynia, Belczyk's lyric voice and poignant portraits reconnect us to a perpetual shelter that's closer than we'd ever imagined. Paul Nelson, author of A Time Before Slaughter
A murky anonymity looms over Elynia, allowing the luminous world to pronounce itself as it simultaneously emerges and dissipates away . . . This book tunes our ears to the tonality of a voice we have forgotten how to hear: you have no choice but to recognize it as your own. Jarret Middleton, author of An Dantomine Eerly
