Dear Weather Ghost

Melissa Ginsburg

Built around an epistolary sequence, "The Weather Ghost Letters," this collection presents images--animals, the elements, landscapes--as vehicles for exploring exile. "A road drifts all over our country," Ginsburg writes, and the speakers of these poems drift, too--spiritually and physically. We experience this unmoored journey through tight, lyrical pieces that use simple, often coy language.
