A Decade of Drinking with Ghosts chronicles the lonely passage of a man drifting away from his youth, surveying loss, wreckage and void. Induced by ghosts and ranging from the deeply profound to the utterly naïve, this collection of contemporary poetry – aided by alcohol to dampen the disquiet mind – contemplates absences and seeks out some sort of meaning in the process. These sharp, restless pieces don’t necessarily provide answers, but they expertly explore the distinctive and melancholic territory of the human condition.
