THE WILD RABBIT: a love story in ghosts by sophia starmack "The poems in THE WILD RABBIT grant priority to the female in wildly enchanting and evocative ways. Inside their understated beauty and sensuality, one feels also the presence of the forbidden, the suppressed - a sense of surveillance, transgression, secrecy. Through the lens of a partly told story, Sophia Starmack transforms the phrase: i have become a woman. She is that rare, most welcome sort of poet who sees both the Cage and the unlatched gate." -Jennifer Tseng, author of Red Flower, White Flower (Marick Press 2013) "From the moment the glacier gives up the ghost, Sophia Starmack's THE WILD RABBIT weaves a gorgeous, hypnotic landscape around the reader. This love story in ghosts moves through all the seasons of desire and longing, experience and loss, with a voice as sure and present as the summer buzz of cicadas. When you visit that abandoned and slightly desolate old city park, following that overgrown path down to the water to the great sharp rock that juts out into the twilight, to sit and read amid the quiet that is full of hidden voices and memories, this is the book you should be reading. And if you can't find that park or that spot, this is the book that will take you there." -Gregory Crosby, author of Spooky Action at a Distance (2014, The Operating System)
