Reid writes, \"It's hard to feel at home unless I'm aching.\" Growing from this sense of isolation, Reid's poems create new homes in nature, in mythology, and in poetic forms--including sestinas, sonnets, and golden shovels--containers that create and hold new realizations and vantage points. Reid stands up to members of her family, asking for healing amid dissolving bonds. These poems move through emotional registers, embodying nostalgia, hurt, and hope. Throughout \u003ci\u003eGhost Man on Second\u003c\/i\u003e, the poems portray Reid's active grappling with home and confrontation with the ghosts she finds there. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ghost Man on Second \u003c\/i\u003eis the winner of the 2023 Donald Justice Poetry Prize, selected by Mark Jarman. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErica Reid\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she works in arts marketing and serves as assistant editor at \u003ci\u003eTHINK Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.
