River Paw Press is delighted to announce the publication of Dead Boys I Have Known, a poetry chapbook by Joanna Grant, a Semi-Finalist at the 2025 Silent River Poetry Prize.
River Paw Press offers a special pre-sale discount on this award-winning chapbook for a limited time. We invite readers, educators, libraries, and reviewers to reserve a copy of Dead Boys I Have Known while the discounted rate is available.
As the world once again witnesses escalating violence in the Middle East, and in light of the poet’s lived experience teaching deployed American soldiers overseas, this collection carries a heightened sense of urgency and relevance. The poems in this book remind us that behind every headline is a name, a face, and a life remembered. It is a timely and resonant work that readers will not want to miss.
