Country of Ghost

By Gaylord Brewer

Book Overview

Gaylord 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 deux explores both the worlds of the living and of the dead, worlds alternately aching and tender, and of the spirits caught between them.
