    [synopsis] => How do we redefine the self when memory begins to deteriorate? 

This question is at the heart of Ghost Work, a suite of poems that explores a son's gradual loss of his father from dementia. In compassionate, well-crafted pantoums, triolets, ghazals, and sonnets, Rob Colman probes family connection, digging into the liminal space memory preserves between our natural and built environments. Ghost Work is at once a tribute to a lost family member, and a testament to the fragility of the human condition. How do we redefine the self when memory begins to deteriorate?

Ghost Work is at once a tribute to a lost family member, and a testament to the fragility of the human condition. Rob Colman's Ghost Work is a slow dance with memory. A slow dance with memory as it crumbles, flees. A slow dance with pieces, and the heart begging one more chorus, one more verse, one more line, and the dance floor is a rising pool, and the pool is time.
