Synopsis

THE GHOSTS - NOTES FROM A FIELD STUDY
Poems by Ken Lauter

Book Description

In The Ghosts an anonymous anthropologist somehow discovers the land of a tribe of ghosts. Living with them for a year or so, he learns their language, culture, history and institutions, their hopes, dreams, emotions, virtues, and flaws. His primary informant among the ghosts is a beautiful female spirit, and he promptly falls in love with her, thereby sacrificing scientific objectivity but gaining deeper insight into ghost psychology and society.

Biographie de l'auteur

After studying with Donald Hall (US Poet Laureate, 2005-06) at the University of Michigan in the 1960s, KEN LAUTER went on to publish his work in a number of journals and two books: The Other Side and Before the Light (both from BkMk Press, UMKC). He has also completed more than twenty additional collections of poems. Distinguished poet William Meredith has said that Lauter's poetry displays "a splendid and various gift." At Michigan, Ken was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and a Hopwood Award in poetry and later won an American Academy of Poets Prize. He has also written a number of plays, including The Dancing Apsárás - or Captain Willard's Blues, a prequel/sequel to the Francis Ford Coppola film Apocalypse Now, and has held a Shubert fellowship in playwriting at Washington University in St. Louis. After teaching literature and creative writing at four universities, he became mayor's aide in economic development in St. Louis and worked as an environmental activist while serving as the Assistant Dean of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Arizona. Ken and his wife, Dr. Judy Lauter- a neuroscientist and author of How Is Your Brain Like a Zebra? A New Human Neurotype- live in Nacogdoches, Texas.
