## Resource

Bill Callahan, the gravel-voiced poet and musician, is narrating the deeply personal memoir Rise Above by Matthew Schnipper — a raw, haunting tale of grief after losing his two-year-old son Renzo to an aneurysm. Schnipper’s unforgettable story includes introducing his infant to death metal band Morbid Angel at just three months old, a bizarre yet tender ritual meant to expose his child to the world’s full spectrum — even if it ends in tragedy. With the audiobook set to drop July 21 via Random House, Callahan’s voice promises to lend gravity and intimacy to Schnipper’s journey through loss, memory, and the strange beauty of fleeting moments.
