Modern Ghost is delightful, creepy, fun but not cute.
My email account got hacked and I was inexplicably signed up for dozens of mailing lists- Amy Ellis' list included. However, I believe there are no accidents in life, and my involuntary introduction to this fantastic collection of poems proves it. Some gave me chills, some I read once and moved on, and some, like "Sea Witch", I've read many times and each time it becomes more vivid. Enjoy!
