"Joe Wilkins is a writer of great power and heart, and Fall Back Down When I Die is a riveting and timely novel.” – Jess Walter, National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins
Joe, you created a story of unexpected connections by ironically using ten “disconnected” souls. That Ten Boys in All takes place at, in, and around a lake adds to the impact I experienced—I read it in Sun Magazine while basking in the sun on Lake Hayden. Brilliant and heart rending.
Your workshop at Get Lit, Spokane 2013, stays with me; you accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time with your attendees, a diverse group of published, or would-be, or wanna-be poets.

Joe,
I read your story in the Sun. Fascinating way to structure a story. I really liked it.
This is wonderful, Joe!
