Poems by a poet, celebrated novelist, and author of the forthcoming expose of the American prison system, Vernooykill Creek, confront the bewilderments of ordinary life, for which we never seem to be prepared and which leave us in danger of becoming "ghosts" of our own exhaustion. A stark, enraged humor gives the work a brutal yet strangely delicate physical presence.
