I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –
Brian Beatty
From what I understand
you entertained ghosts
and long before your
imitators
pried open asylum
doors
to converse with the
insane.
