James Graham
In Ghost, James Graham invites the reader into a world of quiet reflection, where the presence of absence resonates deeply. Through the simple motions of daily life, the poem explores the lingering traces of a lost loved one--a presence that transcends memory to become a comforting, everyday companion. With delicate imagery and a soft, reflective tone, Graham captures the tension between grief and solace, as the ghost of a cherished person moves through the poet’s mind, giving form to both loss and love. This poem is a meditation on how we live with those we've lost, and how they continue to shape our inner world.
