The Dead Boy Sings In Heaven is a collection of poems about the grief of family--of living with and losing family members. These are poems that tell an unvarnished truth about, but the overall perspective is one of love, forgiveness, and redemption.
Poem from The Dead Boy Sings In Heaven
The Dead Boy Cruises
This may be the happiest moment of my life. I never get to tag along with my brother at nighttime. I’m in the backseat of the dead boy’s hilarious friend Vinnie’s red AMC Pacer, squeezed into the middle hump by his friends, Richard (the smart one) and Danny (the cute one). My brother rides shotgun. The windows rolled down, the stars clear, the radio throngs “The Night Chicago Died” all the way up Rockaway Boulevard. Everyone is quiet. All there is is the cruise, and the breeze, and song after song, that make my heart beat likes it’s in my throat.
