Missouri Boy by Leland Myrick

Missouri Boy is a poetic memoir about two twins growing up in Missouri. He writes about the joys of childhood... paper airplanes, bottle rockets and fireworks, and swimming in your underwear. He then writes of the bad experiences such as being peed on by his friends and watching his older brother being sentenced to 10 years in prison. We then see him as a young adult, hanging off rooftops and working at a hospital. This book has great art and writing and is a quick read so you should definately get it.
