Firecrackers lighting up an ancient tree on a summer night.Twin boys born the same night their grandmother passes away.Teenagers hanging by their fingertips from the roof of a parking garage.An older brother going to prison after a bungled bank robbery. An uncanny poetry pervades Leland Myricks Missouri Boy.Happiness alternates with tragedy in these snapshots of Myricks own Missouri childhood.Filled with startling and at times achingly beautiful imagesfrom a perfect paper airplane flying in the autumn sky to a solitary cross-country motorcycle tripMyricks graphic poem brings together the experiences that formed his character, for better and for worse.Poignant, timeless, and intimately evoked, Missouri Boy is a unique tribute to a small-town American childhood.
