Description: On the night of October 6, 1998, a gay 21-year-old University of Wyoming student named Matthew Shepard was lured from a bar by two young men, then savagely beaten, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, and left to die. October Mourning is Leslea Newman's deeply personal response to the events of that tragic day and its brutal aftermath.

"The narrators expertly carry the weight of the poems, excelling on verses that combine more than one voice."
