Ghost Music is the first collection of poems from the multi-award-winning playwright and author of Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain (Times Bestseller).
Landscape and memory interweave in this collection of poems that skims like a stone over Wales and England, loss and tragedy, family, and time. Haunted by the echoes of other songs and stories, Ghost Music looks for a way to get under the skin of our days and articulate the meanings of a life.

I enjoyed the poems in this collection a lot. The poems are well written and use powerful imagery and language. The poems use nature and the natural world to mediate on very personal experiences and themes such as loss and family. The themes and ideas in this collection are universal. I especially enjoyed Crickadarn, All Apologies, Passing and The Gift of Grieving.
