The poems in Ghosts Still Linger explore the past and present of the prairies, juxtaposing contemporary responses to grief and environmental issues with musings about iconic historical figures such as Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley. Kat Cameron’s engaging and lyrical voice illuminates the unsung perspectives of the women of the West, creating a compelling narrative that reflects on her own struggles with sorrow. She conjures ghosts, weaves together insights on notable individuals with wit and irony, and interrogates prairie sensibilities, loss, memory, and the impacts of boom and bust.--$cProvided by publisher.
