About Song for the Dead

A young man and his mother grapple with the disappearance and possible death of his older brother who may have jumped off a bridge on the Jersey shore.  A searingly original story of the tragedies and indomitable ecstasies of youth on the verge of adulthood, Song for the Dead captures the tempest of being a seventeen-year-old boy in a haunting and lyrical still frame.
