SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Ghost\/Home: A Beginner\u2019s Guide to Being Haunted<\/i>\u00a0traces the course of a disease through a body, a ghost through a home, and a feeling through the language that tries to hold it. How does illness travel through us? What do we do with the parts of ourselves we feel but cannot grasp? Where are the ghosts in our lives, and what are their names? In diagrams of ghosts, readings of Clarice Lispector, photographs, interviews, and lyric prose,\u00a0Ghost\/Home\u00a0<\/i>extends these questions into uncharted territory. The chapbook seeks to do the impossible: to diagram the elusive, the invisible, the haunting. Like its cover\u2014an early Anna Atkins cyanotype, which transforms an image of algae into a ghostly figure\u2014Ghost\/Home<\/i>\u00a0transforms the experience of living with Crohn\u2019s disease into an incalculable, invisible, but pervasive entity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PRAISE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through urgent, intimate prose and diagrams of hauntings, Ghost\/Home shows us that ghosts are more than billowing curtains and flashes of light\u2014ghosts are Crohn\u2019s, ghosts are history, ghosts are feelings with nowhere to go. Rather than an exorcism, Sweeney coordinates a calling-in, a reckoning with the spirits that move through his body and shape his life.
\n\u2013 Amy Berkowitz<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A tender embrace, this text will haunt you and heal you. A remarkable work; I couldn\u2019t recommend this more.
\n\u2013 Janice Lee<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is it to be inhabited? What happens when it\u2019s your body that is haunted? Whose is your body anyway? Ghost\/Home asks all the right questions about flesh and spirit and health and not-health and how we live with our inheritances. All that and Clarice Lispector too!! An
\nauspicious book.
