Author Description

Product Description In Ghost Light, Eric Basso's fifth collection of poems, the sense of foreboding encountered in Catafalques becomes a prophecy fulfilled with the force of a hammer-blow. It is a book written in the shadow of three unexpected deaths, when the poet, dazed by grief, was for a time dangerously ill himself. A stillness moves among the darkest and most searing poems Basso has ever written.
