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.
