Read Ghost Girl Storyline:
Sly and sophisticated, direct, playful, and profound, Amy Gerstler's newcollection highlights her distinctive poetic style. In thirty-seven poems,
using a variety of dramatic voices and visual techniques, she finds meaning in
unexpected places, from a tour of a doll hospital to an ad for a CD of
Beethoven symphonies to an earthy exploration of toast. Gerstler's abiding
interests--in love and mourning, in science and pseudoscience, in the idea of
an afterlife, in seances and magic--are all represented here. Entertaining and
erudite, complex yet accessible, these poems will enhance Gerstler's
reputation as an important contemporary poet.
