About this product
Product Information
CBC Poetry Prize finalist and National Magazine Award honoree Faith Arkorful's breathtaking, surpassingly thoughtful debut collection of poems. Hauntings form the canopy of The Seventh Town of Ghosts . These titular towns, centred in yesterdays, tomorrows, and the ongoing, lead to a special kind of singing: songs to the reader who wrestles with existence, the unsure peace within family, and the often-tense interdependence of life. Here, discernment is ever-present, guided by Faith Arkorful's insights on not only the ravages of the state and the police upon the Black family and life at large, but also on a kaleidoscope of connections--sisterhood, daughterhood, kinship, solitude, death, romance--and how tenderness, chosen and repeated, can shield against life's blows. These towns also enchant, shape-lifting through humour, irony, and the small refractions of language where Arkorful guides us through the fault lines and the undertow, in the form of fruit, island volcanoes, Formula 1, and the expansive hum of life. This poet-as-sojourner bears careful, caring witness, her attention reserved not only for her living and her dead but hyphenated two-fold by the fragile things and the lasting things. These poems remind us of what contours our mysterious and fleeting presence on Earth.

Reviews
Praise for The Seventh Town of Ghosts and Faith Arkorful "Faith Arkorful's poems are full of living. Despite, because of, on the edge of, in and through the body, history, grief and tenderness, The Seventh Town of Ghosts is heartfelt music here. And magic." --Christina Sharpe, author of Ordinary Notes " The Seventh Town of Ghosts invites us into an intimacy of collisions, siblings, stars, saltwater, citrus fruit, and blood, as well as the threat of enforcement, erasure, and all 'the prerequisites of violence.' Arkorful's voice is lucent and uncompromising as she charts and queries both her relations and selfhood in poems that are at once as fulsome as 'a blanket of stars [and] delicate as a spider's web.' This is a work I will return to for both its interrogation and celebration of the beauty and necessity of haunting." --Liz Howard, author of Letters in a Bruised Cosmos "Insistently lyrical ('I AM NOBODY ELSE BUT MY OWN BECOMING'), The Seventh Town of Ghosts sings flesh and hauntings, asphalt and saltwater, earthworms and mathematics--sings the urgency, amidst enveloping noise, of bravest existential clarity: 'I have no answers, only small honesties.' Faith Arkorful is the poet we need, with fierce new philosophies, and a tongue for 'both the acid and sweetness.'" --David Chariandy, author of Brother
