Author: Gaylord BrewerISBN: 9781597093132Publisher: Red Hen PressYear first published: 24 Mar 2015Pages: 120 Format: Paperback / softbackGaylord Brewer's ninth collection of poetry , Country of Ghost, is by turns harrowing, haunted, and darkly humorous, and always deeply felt. When the figure Ghost appears--crossing a bridge in Spain, beside a river of the dead in France, across a midnight lake in Finland--our speaker follows into a ravenous geography of longing and regret. In this astounding sequence of poems, who has summonsed whom? Brewer's folie a deux explores both the worlds of the living and of the dead, worlds alternately aching and tender, and of the spirits caught between them. Show more
