“Book Descriptions: Chris Schneider’s debut poetry collection, Sad Boy, delivers a raw, satirical dive into a troubled teen’s fractured psyche, navigating the ruins of childhood trauma. Through jagged, haunting verses, Schneider charts a brutal coming-of-age from a suicide attempt (Sad Boy) and hospitalization (Hellraiser) to the dizzying highs of first love (Black Room), the sting of heartbreak (Darkest Dungeon), and the bittersweet closure of graduation (Charles I). His fierce, anguished poetry unearths a youth shadowed by tragedy, blending mocking clarity with profound resonance.
Enhanced by Steven Bentley’s striking ink-on-paper illustrations and introduced by DeQuan Wren, Sad Boy offers a visceral journey through despair and quiet resilience.
