Ghost in the Graveyard

How can we claim a place as a “ home” if that home no longer exists? Not because we moved away but rather, the physical town is just… gone. Through the lens of a former ghost town in Wyoming that was eventually demolished, the poems in Ghost in the Graveyard (Winner of the Hudson Prize from Black Lawrence Press) explore identity and our relationship to the physical places in our life and how those places can (or, sometimes, fail to) define us, especially when there is no “ home” to return to.
