Graveyard

An inventory of ghosts, explorations of grief and loss, the effects of oppression on a body existing in a landscape of hostility; Jessica Halsey's debut collection contains snapshots of surreal realities. These speculative and fantastical poems represent the search for identity and purpose in a world that challenges the endurance of the human spirit. These poems use the power of lyric (poetics and prose) to demonstrate the capacity for love to survive within memories of sorrow.
