Portraits in Bones & Blood of Our Fame is the debut poetry collection from experimental singer-songwriter Tom Gallello. Known for his work as a solo artist under the name Tom Gravely and as the frontman of Dumb Echo, Gallello brings the same raw intensity of his music to the page. These poems and lyrics are at once brutal and strangely comforting, unsettling yet cathartic.
Across seventy-two pages, he builds a world of skeletal remains, blood-stained effigies, haunted houses, and fractured love. Each piece drifts between song and spell, nightmare and elegy, excavating what is buried in the body and what lingers in the mind. The result is a collection that confronts decay and trauma while uncovering an unexpected beauty within them.
