“Ghost House is a devastatingly distinctive collection. Butler’s voice shines through, casting a light on the darkest of places. She makes visible that which can be so difficult to communicate, with the deftest of touches. In ‘Salt’: ‘We, whose senses are tethered to knife-sharp memory. / They turn our favorite melodies to skeletons.’ With a variety of form and a skilful grasp of language, this is an immersive collection of poems that will draw you back again and again...”
-Chris Campbell, author of All Island No Sea
This poetry collection is an exploration of the ways we speak to ourselves, kindly and unkindly, honestly and dishonestly.
