Owning the Ghosts Alyce Wilson

From observations about her suburban Philadelphia neighbors, to reflections of her Central Pennsylvania childhood, Alyce Wilson's poems provide a vivid slice of life. In the second half, she offers insights about aging, pregnancy and childbirth. Her second poetry volume, this collection represents nearly two decades of growth, dating back to Penn State grad school days, to her experiences as a single woman, to finding love and having a child. Throughout, her textured observations elevate the most ordinary moments to a zen meditation.
