Book Synopsis
In her ninth collection of poems, Ghost Apples, Katharine Coles interrogates and celebrates her relationship with the natural world and the various creatures who inhabit it, and in doing so asks what it means to be sentient and mortal on a fragile planet. From her own pet parrot, Henri, to the birds her husband attracts to their feeders, to the wildlife who live just outside—and regularly cross—her property on the wild edge of Salt Lake City, she uses her capacity for intense observation and meditation to think her way into other lives and possible shared futures, both good and bad.

Trade Review
"Ghost Apples... defies the authority of poetic tradition, especially that of the vaunted sonnet... Enjambment saturates the poems in this collection, which raises the question of what constitutes a unit of thought: the sentence, the line, or something else?" –Good River Review
