Synopsis

The stunning sequel to State of Grace: The Joshua Elegies. Both collections speak of devastating loss, and love that endures beyond death. The Dead Kid Poems chronicles as well a bittersweet journey of complex familial relationships, and offers solace for those whose hearts are pierced by grief, personal and/or collective.

"The blunt force of loss takes your breath away in The Dead Kid Poems. Gratitude to the poet for the small mercy of making plain the connection between sexual abuse and addiction. Read this book and breathe if you can."

—Marsha de la O, co-editor of Spillway and author of Antidote for Night and Black Hope

Seven of Alexis Rhone Fancher's photographs also appear in this exquisite book, including the cover image.
