Description
Penned in a distinctive lyrical style, this collection of poems concerns itself with how the living haunt themselves. Each of the pieces are formed around a vivid image—among them, a child’s signature in the dust of an old guitar, the stone plinth where a café once stood, a white balloon, and a chateau, still furnished with the belongings of its vanished owner. With a powerful and haunting voice, the concept of love underscores the commonplace in this moving and memorable collection of verse.
