Book Overview

In these rhythmic lyric pieces, ghosts appear as indications, veils and shades, shadows and chance--in illness, art, nature and relationship; in the nebulousness of memory. Hosts of soul, self, and other. In Everybody Knows a Ghost, knowing denotes a closeness where there's space for struggle and fumbling, interplay and change. For when has it ever been unhuman to morph, perish, linger, or reappear.
