The ghosts that haunt this collection are phantom islands, moon lakes, lasers used to clean the caryatids at the Acropolis, earlier versions of the self, suicides, a madam from the Old West, petroleum, snapdragons, pets, ice apples, Casper, and a \"resident ghost\" who makes the domestic realm of \"the cradle and the bed\" uninhabitable. The ghosts are sons, fathers \"asleep in front of the TV,\" and a variety of exes--\"lost boys\" with names like The Texan and Mr. No More Cowboy Hat whom Henrietta Goodman treats with snarky wit but also with grief, guilt, and love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Although memories pervade this collection, these poems also look forward and outward into a world where social inequality and environmental disaster meet the possibility of metamorphosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenrietta Goodman\u003c\/strong\u003e is an assistant professor of English at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana.
