 Lesléa Newman October mourning: A Song for Matthew Shepard On the night of October 6, 1998, a gay twenty-one-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard was lured from a Wyoming bar by two young men, savagely beaten, tied to a remote fence, and left to die. Lesléa Newman was deeply affected by Matthew Shepard's murder and wrote October mourning to try to understand the impact this hate crime has had on the world and on herself. By telling Matthew Shepard's story in the voices of the silent witnesses (the fence he was tied to, the stars that watched over him, the deer who kept him company, etc.), she creates a compelling narrative that enables young readers to experience the intense emotions of that day, which resonated around the world. With this work, she inspires all of us to work to make the world a safer place and to erase hate and replace it with compassion, understanding, and love in remembrance of Matthew Shepard. A 2013 Stonewall Honor Book, October mourning is a book both for young adults and for caring people of all ages. Lesléa Newman is the author of more than sixty books for children and adults, including the groundbreaking children’s classic Heather Has Two Mommies.

 Leslea Newman, October Mourning On the night of October 6, 1998, a gay twenty-one-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard was lured from a Wyoming bar by two young men, savagely beaten, tied to a remote fence, and left to die. Gay Awareness Week was beginning at the University of Wyoming, and the keynote speaker was Lesléa Newman, discussing her book Heather Has Two Mommies. Shaken, the author addressed the large audience that gathered, but she remained haunted by Matthew’s murder. October mourning, a novel in verse, is her deeply felt response to the events of that tragic day. Using her poetic imagination, the author creates fictitious monologues from various points of view, including the fence Matthew was tied to, the stars that watched over him, the deer that kept him company, and Matthew himself. More than a decade later, this stunning cycle of sixty-eight poems serves as an illumination for readers too young to remember, and as a powerful, enduring tribute to Matthew Shepard’s life.
Lesléa Newman is the author of more than sixty books for children and adults, including the groundbreaking children’s classic Heather Has Two Mommies. A former poet laureate of Northampton, Massachusetts, she has received poetry fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Artists Fellowship Foundation.
