Rise above the River (Able Muse Book Award for Poetry)

"In this haunting book of poems, a sister remembers her younger brother, who as a child seemed always to emit a golden light to match his golden boy soprano voice. With lyrical reminiscences, the older sister watches her brother grow in his estrangement, his greed, his inability to feel for others, contrast painfully. It is a shattering book of poems about lost innocence and beauty. Rise above the River is the winner of the 2021 Able Muse Book Award"--
