"The poetry collection you are holding in your hands is a representative testament not only of our generation's most difficult trial--the pandemic --but also of the universality of how we continue to live--with audacity and grace... Hers is the hard gaze of witness, her poems resonating with heartbeat... Her visual and sonic imageries echo the importance of mindfulness and attention to life's fleeting moments, showing how memories enrich our struggles, even help us survive. "Jonel Abellanosa, author of Meditations and Multiverse "Scores of poems are being written about the pandemic, but Sandi Leibowitz's transcendent Ghost Light is the book we've been waiting for...This book is more than one poet's experience of the pandemic. "The Boat," a tribute to three members of one family who died in the pandemic, comes to mind as does "Breath," a poem that honors George Floyd and decries our current political situation. Ghost Light, in its haunting yet quotidian portrayals of objects and rituals, remind us how a skilled, imaginative poet can help us think through the pandemic and other current tragedies. Marianne Szlyk, author of Poetry En Plein Air, On the Other Side of the Window, and I Dream of Empathy...Through carefully crafted observations of day to day, week to week, month to month, seemingly endless separation, Leibowitz asks us to examine our own sense of abandonment in a crowded, bustling world. She shows us her fear and her courage with a tenderness that makes them our fear, our courage. "Ghost Light" reaches past the immediate repercussions of a sentinel disease to teach us that life itself is......She helps us realize the worth of our interconnectedness... You will discover yourself, your family, your friends, and strangers you may have known....--Jim Lewis, Editor of Verse-Virtual and author of a clear day in october, every evening is december, and do you hear it?
