Moving between lonely, rural New York and glimmering New Orleans, a woman searches for a sense of home. Her quest is shadowed by an impulsive early divorce and a betrayal that shattered her family of origin and left her mother homeless. In dream-like vignettes, THE HAUNT captures the narrator’s desire for belonging, grasped only in fleeting instances at restaurant tables. Comfort and inspiration come to her in flashes of unexpected beauty, passion, and heartbreak, as she learns to embrace past decisions. Winner of the WTAW Alcove Chapbook Prize.
