Ghost Pain
Poems
"Singer of stories, lyric raconteur, Sydney Lea has evolved--through a long, rich career--into one of America's most harrowing and honest poets. Ghost Pain is his most eloquent and wrenching book."--T.R. Hummer "Ghost Pain is a remarkable book, which takes his work to a new level."--Stephen Dunn The eighth poetry collection by the founder of New England Review explores addiction, alcoholism, violence and the uses and inadequacies of art.
Lea, founder of New England Review, has published a novel, two collections of nonfiction, and eight poetry collections. Pursuit of a Wound was a Pulitzer finalist in poetry, and To the Bone was co-winner of the Poets' Prize. Lea has taught at Yale, Wesleyan, Vermont College, Eotvos Lorand University (Budapest), and Franklin College (Switzerland). He currently teaches at Dartmouth College.
