What Haunts Me

By Bernadette Geyer

What evidence will we leave behind to prove we once existed? The poems in What Haunts Me weigh the possible answers to this question, examining the past through the camera's lens as well as through the things we inherit from our ancestors, from society, and from our belief in "tradition." In her collection, Geyer explores the inadequacy of photos, as they capture only a fraction of the lives depicted, teasing out the stories that often lie hidden outside the frame. By diving into the past via her familial ties and the histories of the places that she has visited, Geyer finds linkages between these while navigating the murky waters of memory and faith.
