A Portrait of Brotherhood as Two Boys from Space, by Stephen Yuffrida Brown

Poetry, prose, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

A Portrait of Brotherhood as Two Boys from Space is the second multi-genre chapbook by Stephen Yuffrida Brown. An irreverent blend of colorful imagery and allegory, the works explore themes of togetherness in otherness, as well as familial connection and dysfunction at the end of the world. And how, sometimes, the dissolution of family can be the end of the world.
