Dream Brother
About the chapbook
“Dream Brother” (Oyster Publications, 1999; now out of print) takes its name from the Jeff Buckley song, and tells its story through short prose pieces, poetry, and collage.
"This unusual love story set in [West Sonoma County] focuses on the relationship between a 15-year-old boy and the narrator. The boy is born under mythic circumstances in a haunted Petaluma farmhouse: 'One afternoon the ghost kicked their dog, and soon after they moved to Occidental, where rent was cheaper and the ghosts were friendlier.' Meanwhile, the west county works its fey woodland magic, confronting the couple with unicorns and UFOs and police search helicopters." —The Sonoma County Independent, Sept. 16-22, 1999
"Mesmerizing." —Amazon reader review
