Let's Become a Ghost Story

Playful, sexy, and occasionally absurd, Bursky sifts through the detritus of American culture to reveal the sharp edges and breathtaking facets of life.

Rick Bursky’s latest poetry collection reaches into the peculiarities of human relationships with emotional accuracy, charm, and a touch of surrealism. In poems that channel memories of brief encounters and long-lost loves through imagination and half-recalled dreams, Let’s Become a Ghost Story turns nostalgia inside-out to reveal the innate humor of our most intimate connections.
