Winner of the Spring 2014 Black River Chapbook Competition
From his first appearance on the page, we knew he was bound for something unsolvable. But a little thing like futility can't stop our hero from holding up a magnifying glass to a world so bright it's impossible to understand. In this searching, provocative collection of coming-of-age sonnets, the sad boy detective listens close, collects the evidence, and reimagines the strange landscapes of a life, a body, a boy, a self. Through a questioning, fervent lens, Sam Sax's sad boy / detective reminds us how deeply bizarre and at times undecipherable all this existence stuff truly is.
