Award-winning author, performer, and artist Shane.L.Koyczan's long-awaited collection, Our Deathbeds Will Be Thirsty.

"The collection of poems speaks like a journey through each formative moment we'd forgotten we had: the monster under the bed and the intricate rules about how to overcome its powers; the ability to talk to girls or boys we liked; the fear of being bullied; our first experience with real anguish." - Litlive.ca
