Talking to Ghosts is Philip Gardner's fourth volume of poetry, and his second to be published in Newfoundland, where he has taught for nearly thirty years. The poems it includes are selected from a much larger number written over the last decade. Many have been published in magazines and anthologies; others make their first appearance here. Written in a wide range of forms, they refer to many places lived in and visited, address a variety of people, living and dead, and reflect the inevitable passage of time.
