Little Ghosts on Castle Floors: Poems informed by the Potterverse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639801473)

In Little Ghosts on Castle Floors, Wayne-Daniel Berard has parlayed his love of everything-Harry-Potter into a collection that will engage and delight both devotees of the Potterverse as well as those who have yet to experience its enchantment. The wizard of mind-stopping imagery and carefully-crafted compact poems, Berard convinces us that despite what/your therapist says, /just because it's happening/outside our head doesn't/mean it isn't real ("Poem 9 3/4").
These "real" poems will have you shouting in the streets, train stations, and alleys of your inner and outer worlds, How magic-/borne we Muggles after all! ("Magic-Borne").

- Carolyn Martin, poetry editor, Kosmos Quarterly: journal for global transformation

These vivid poems begin with wind chimes given at a mother's passing and end with a new kid sister, every poem between them a spell made of mystery, wonder, and what the poet calls Light Arts. The Wizarding World is alive in these pieces, showing us that in the end harm bounces/off of good because/of love.

- Laura Grace Weldon, poet, author of Portals, Blackbird, and Tending

A warm welcome to these illuminating, heart-felt and delightful poems from this life-long seeker. For those missing Harry Potter books and movies, along comes this gift to bring depth and pay tribute to J.K. Rowling's' brilliant and enduring work. I commend the poet for the way he connects the myth of Harry Potter to other spiritual practices, providing refuge to us all.

- Deborah Leipziger, poet, author of Flower Map, and founding co-editor of Soul-Lit, a journal of spiritual poetry.
