Ghost Hour
Laura Cronk

Sometimes compact, sometimes expansive, the poems in Ghost Hour emanate from adolescence and other liminal spaces, considering girlhood and contemporary womanhood—the ways both are fraught with the pleasures and limits of embodiment
Laura Cronk writes personally, intimately, yet never without profound consideration of contemporary violence, which we must love in spite of and rage against.

“This is a collection of poems for grown-ups, a fierce coming of age, a coming into—with heart, humor, and humility—one’s own.”
—Craig Morgan Teicher

“Ghost Hour is brilliant.”
—Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta
