Nº4 in the Platypus Press 2412 chapbook series
"With its bewitching imagery and poignant disharmonies, Letters to Ghosts comes as an uncomfortable inquiry into one's identity and how this identity can actually have little or nothing to do with auto-determination." -DrunkenBoat

This is my first time reading the poet.
There's something very haunting and beautiful about the poems in this little chapbook. The poems don't follow a traditional format; no capital letters except the first couple of words and most of them laid out in a paragraph rather than stanzas. I liked this. I also like the way the poet uses repetition especially in Her Drowned, the best poem in the collection. I also liked Mess.
