Braver Deeds: Poems

Winner, 1998 Peregrine Smith Poetry Competition Humane and devoid of self-pity, Gary Young’s prose poems in BRAVER DEEDS eloquently remind us it is our response or reaction to tragedy that is the true measure of our self-worth. “Like a modern-day realist’s morality tales, these poems are backed by a moral purpose as compelling and dramatic as it is instructive and wise.” –Sherod Santos
