In these new poems, the ghosts of the past are conjured as part of the present day: the deceased beloved, the father long dead, the ailing mother, the victims of holocaust and war. With these spirits beside her, Gallagher confronts her own illness and mortality, and celebrates love and friendship in these spare lyrics and muscular narratives, each punctuated by her resilience and grace. Here is the new work by one of Americas most accomplished poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948365709365,"sku":"ByrdShop_1555974430","price":26.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1555974430.jpg?v=1794425092","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dear-ghosts-poems-9781555974435","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
