{"product_id":"ghost-girl-isbn-9780142000649","title":"Ghost Girl","description":"Sly and sophisticated, direct, playful, and profound, Amy Gerstler’s new collection highlights her distinctive poetic style. In thirty-seven poems, using a variety of dramatic voices and visual techniques, she finds meaning in unexpected places, from a tour of a doll hospital to an ad for a CD of Beethoven symphonies to an earthy exploration of toast. Gerstler’s abiding interests—in love and mourning, in science and pseudoscience, in the idea of an afterlife, in seances and magic—are all represented here. Entertaining and erudite, complex yet accessible, these poems will enhance Gerstler’s reputation as an important contemporary poet.\u003cb\u003eAmy Gerstler\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer of fiction, poetry, and journalism whose work has appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies, including the \u003cb\u003eParis Review\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eBest American Poetry\u003c\/b\u003e.
