{"product_id":"9781935716006","title":"Ghost Lights","description":"The poems of Ghost Lights are ambitious and multi-textured narratives and lyrics, are steeped in the lore of cinema and pop culture, and above all seem to dwell in those liminal places where adolescent longing gives way to a hard-bitten and grown-up spirit of elegy. Keith\u003cbr\u003eMontesano is a tough and relentless poet, whose craft smanship is as impressive as his stance. Ghost Lights is an exceptionally noteworthy fi rst collection. -David Wojahn\u003cbr\u003e\"Where \/\/ did this world \/ come from, and how did it appear?\"\u003cbr\u003eFollowing Larry Levis, Keith Montesano discovers those fugitive moments when one life becomes another, when our angels arrive or depart. Ghost Lights presents a difficult and necessary vigil that enlarges the body of contemporary elegy, a welcome debut. -Jake Adam York\u003cbr\u003eLove, death, art, the love of art-glimpses fl ash past, shards assemble into mosaics of passion and pain, and the past won't steer clear of present. Keith Montesano's arresting Ghost Lights illuminates in its glow a vision of heartbreak and heroism, a rescue from the burning building and every other trap \"somewhere between innocent \/\/ and harmful.\" This insightful poet imagines in lyrical beauty the terror and fascination of consuming flame. -Lisa Lewis\u003cbr\u003eWithin Ghost Lights, the striking first collection by Keith Montesano,\u003cbr\u003eare all the elemental obsessions: violence and fi re and sex, in service of the sublime. Unafraid of ambition, free of pretension, these poems hold on to the heart and mind: they thrill, and enthrall, and, long aft er one has read them, they haunt. -Paul Guest","brand":"Dream Horse Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044190142704,"sku":"9781935716006","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935716006_p0.jpg?v=1763657617","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935716006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
