Ghost wrestling

the long version

The Eight Collection of poems from Roger Weingarten, Ghost Wrestling further demonstrates his mastery at drawing the trappings of daily life - whether rodents in the basement, the Summer Olympics on television, or a fairway sniper - into the sphere of mystery and personal revelation. Weingarten has a sly way with language and an unerring sense of how to weave the strands of experience into the fabric of epiphany. In his newest book, these gifts are brought to bear with particular acuity and sureness of touch, making Ghost Wrestling his most accomplished work to date.
