The Ghost in Us Was Multiplying (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781934819357)

Where does one body end and another begin? In The Ghost in Us Was Multiplying, Brent Armendinger explores the relationship between ethics and desire, between what is intimate and what is public. Although grounded in lyric, these poems are ever mindful of how language falls apart in us and - perhaps more importantly - how we fall apart in language. Armendinger asks, "What ratio of news and light should a poem deliver?" This book is a continuous reckoning with that question and the ways that we inhabit each other.
