Hauntingly poignant, “Hearing Voices” sets me on a contemplative journey wherein I am joined by an array of amorphous ancestral apparitions. The perfect reading for a late summer’s eve.

“Hearing Voices” really captures that edge between what was & what is, between what we can perceive & what remains in the memory, or in the imagination. Yet for those fingerlings–and for us–that edge can become startlingly real. Bravo.

I started writing this poem when my sons were young. Last year, I picked it up and began revision with the idea of submitting it to the Ruth Stone Poetry Prize. Now that my sons are grown, I made the artistic decision to take them out of the poem hoping the ghosts of the past would haunt the lines.
