How to Drown a Boy: Poems -- J. Bruce Fuller, Paperback

How to Drown a Boy, a debut collection of poems by J. Bruce Fuller, investigates how boyhood and fatherhood entwine to create cycles that mimic decaying and dangerous natural surroundings.

These poems examine the weight of family and culture against a backdrop of climate change and environmental disaster
