Unholy Ghost

Nancy Jean Hill

4.9/5 (15222 ratings)

Description:Nancy Jean Hill’s Unholy Ghost is a deep dive into childhood’s sea of shadows, and each poem is a flash of light on profound loss and violation that searches a way to understand survival. Through a narrative that traces the legacies of alcoholism, sexual abuse, and grief, Hill’s lamp is bright and her gaze unblinking. But it’s her lion-hearted spirit and bold voice, conveyed in lines that refuse indirection, that allow her to fully plumb and then surface from the depths of family trauma. I felt shaken at the end—and astonished. This collection is a testament to the saving power of truth-telling, and to the claim we make on the love we bear by reckoning with its betrayals. —Kimberly Cloutier GreenPoetry reckons the wages of experience and Nancy Jean Hill is a consummate reckoner. Adept and inventive, she spins out poem after poem that takes us to depths that, in their eloquence and honesty, ensnare us. The sheer courage of these poems challenges the glibness that drowns us each dark and amiable day. To think twice and to feel twice is poetry’s perennial task and one that Nancy Jean Hill has made fully hers. This book is a powerful achievement. —Baron WormserWhen you’ve been deeply wounded, it’s easy to put that story on a loop that endlessly repeats itself. Nancy Jean Hill does something other, truer, more crucial. She tells the story and lets it go, or rather lets it broaden into a sense of empathy through poems that speak back to the unholy ghosts that haunt us all. In “Beryllium Diary,” one of her several impressive sequences, she explores the effect of toxicity on workers exposed to that element and the corporate irresponsibility that allowed it to go on. Poetic form becomes Hill’s lens, allowing her to transform trauma into art, a searing and clear-eyed art that gives shape to the hard-won ability to embrace our vulnerability in this life. Unholy Ghost takes us on a brave and necessary journey.—Betsy ShollWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
