Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the 2023 Donald Justice Poetry Prize, selected by Mark Jarman, Ghost Man on Second centers on strained family relationships and the search for new homes.

Erica Reid's debut collection traces a daughter's search for her place in the world after estrangement from her parents. Reid writes, It's hard to feel at home unless I'm aching. Growing from this sense of isolation, Reid's poems create new homes in nature, in mythology, and in poetic formsincluding sestinas, sonnets, and golden shovelscontainers that create and hold new realizations and vantage points.

Reid stands up to members of her family, asking for healing amid dissolving bonds. These poems move through emotional registers, embodying nostalgia, hurt, and hope. Throughout Ghost Man on Second, the poems portray Reid's active grappling with home and confrontation with the ghosts she finds there.
