(4) YA "I'm pacing. A big ol' / simmering pot of pissed. / I consciously lower / my boiling point / before I detonate." After his younger brother commits suicide, eighteen-year-old Matthew Turner struggles with grief, anger, faith, forgiveness, and fear of losing anything else, especially control. Told in Hopkins's distinctive gritty free verse, the melodramatic story has an abrupt, dramatic turn that helps Matthew find (fairly pat) peace.
