Welcome to Litsy!

Growing up outside a dying coal town, a boy struggles to understand what it means to be a man while wrestling with the violence and intimacies of his disjointed family."And as I chopped, my mind often rested on a whispering godlike It. Maybe that same It who whispered to cells when to split into heartbeats. An It whom I wrote into the crevices of my story to understand the teacher, the cold, and my family--especially Pa and Cherry Mae.""You Holy Screaming Symphony" is immersed in the mysteries of the human dilemma where life and death, confinement and redemption, and good and evil guide a young man on his journey towards identity.
