News at Eleven: The book is, as she [Tess Gallagher] has

described it, "my letter to my ghosts". An extended elegy for those she has lost, its ambition is also to connect the poet to her addressees in the imagined space of the text. These are poems that seek, as in "Sixteenth Anniversary" (for [Raymond] Carver), to capture a moment where "the door/swings open and we're both/on the same side of it/for a while".
