The essays and songs in Whistling Up in Ghostland are a profound exploration of consciousness, presence in nature, travel to the far flung, and journeying deep within.
With a blend of humor and vulnerability, Ryan navigates realms of intuition, heartfelt emotion, intimate friendship, grief, and unexpected awakening.
Ghostland will make you laugh, cry, and look at the world around you with entirely new eyes.
