Books by Eric Overby

Every stranger has a story. Eric Overby crafted February Rain after seeing a lonely traveler walking down the highway and asking himself why the man was walking in the freezing rain. Within minutes, Eric had written the title song. The song turned into an album, the lyrical pilgrimage of a man who comes home to find that his wife has left him. Upon finding the note she has left, he leaves everything. What he finds along the journey is himself and the life he has forgotten.

Haiku is the art of saying much with few words while capturing the simple beauty we miss in everyday life.17 explores the possibilities of viewing life through seventeen syllables. What can be said in such a short gathering of sounds? What meaning can be found? What beauty can be seen? Eric approaches these questions as he journals his life through the art of haiku.
