The stories detail a lifetime of bittersweet memories and the characters and exciting locations that helped formulate them. Time’s winged chariot is always close at hand as old loves and friends and times past are remembered, evoking a bygone era that is vibrant and alive with a host of interesting people in exciting places.

Eberhardt can also show beauty and profanity in the same poem. David Eberhardt is a unique voice on the Baltimore poetry scene, an informed voice both in terms of his background and the wide array of cultural influences that his poetry displays."
