“Book Descriptions: "O craving heart for the lost flowers
And sunshine of my summer hours!
The undying voice of that dead time,
With its interminable chime
Rings in the spirit of a spell,
Upon thy emptiness, — a knell."
- Edgar Allan Poe, Tamerlane (1827)
SAD BOY by Chris Schneider is a short collection of 15 illustrated free verse poems. The work is a satire of the author's troubled childhood. The poems are written from the perspective of a disturbed teenager. The poetry is darkly funny with clever and subversive references to history, philosophy, and pop culture from the 90's and 2000's. SAD BOY is an artistic exploration of suicide, alienation, and the general absurdity of life.
Hauntingly beautiful illustrations, ink on paper, by Steven Bentley (Illustrators of the Future, 2024)”
