Description

White Ghosts is a powerful debut collection by poet Katie Hale. Through unflinching poems, she explores the complex legacies of slavery and whiteness in America, tracing maternal lines and challenging official narratives. Hale's poems travel deep into an intimate history that spans both sides of the Atlantic, interrogating the language of silence, complicity, and difficult inheritances. She examines the ways in which questions of ownership and power are inscribed into the landscape, using art, music, and lyrical reworking to address white guilt. Through four hundred years of female migration, Hale's poems reveal the losses and transmissions that have occurred across generations, shedding light on the complexities of a fraught history.
