Boy
A poetry collection focused on grief and the many ways it can impact a family.
The death of a youngest child. An alcoholic and distant father. A grief-stricken family. A tentative faith. These are the building blocks of Boy , a sequence of poems that explores how death and loss color memory and influence the ways family members relate to each other and to their shared history.
Inspired by the death of her own younger brother, Tracy Youngblom has written a poetry collection that serves as a companion to grief. This book is for those who love poetry and those who are intimidated by it, those interested in the way childhood experience shapes life, and those interested in the psychology of addiction.

I have never had a book of poetry (or maybe any book) move me forward to the next poem over and over like this one. Achingly beautiful, a truly stunning work.
