Every House Needs a Ghost
B.H. Fairchild meets Kelly Link in this collection of poems by Timothy Fox. Made from the viscera of a working class upbringing in the American Deep South, every house needs a ghost is both haunting and haunted. It includes the voices and stories of faith healers, queer teenagers, orphaned children, meth heads, single mothers and dead grandparents. Unsettling, gothic, and clear-eyed, it makes for a powerful and exciting debut.

A poetry chapbook which mixes Southern gothic with a winning warm-heartedness. My favourites were "jesus is everywhere", "on the bayou a boy" and "she runs the diner but", which begins...
"she runs the diner but
she also dresses the dead
on tables covered in red and white checkered cloth
where you ate your lunch"
