Description
The Body Ghost is a collection of broken nursery rhymes, a kind of elegy or extended plea to remember kinder, gentler times, and a critique of the broken and harmful policies of the political present. Lease has an abiding interest in social justice as linked to Judaism, and here, always, is a plea for humanism and a tilt toward the mystical. The call-and-response of human relation finds its way onto the page, too―words and phrases echoing each other, blocks of text giving way to lines that trickle down the page.
