In his second collection of poetry, D. Michael Hardy explores the idea of the past as ghosts we must learn to accept, as pieces of ourselves that both comfort and haunt us, from childhood memories and lost friends, to the places we once lived and the people we’ll never see again.
The Ghosts of Us is a haunting collection of poetry that reminds us of all the things we’ve left unsaid, undone, and unresolved. It is a stark reminder to cherish every moment, love more often, live without regrets, and above all, to love yourself, even in your darkest moments.
Praise for The Ghosts of Us
“A powerful collection of poems filled with the complete range of human emotion: love, loss, regret, and poems celebrating joyful abandon. The Ghosts of Us, Hardy is certainly one of the best, recently published poetry books I have read in a long time.” – Rob McCabe, Poet Laureate of the City of Gulfport Florida (2021-2023), Author of the poetry collections, Junky and A Letter to Frank & Other Poems.
