"In Ghost Face by Greg Santos, we balance gracefully between the past, the present, and steadily through what haunts us. With each engaging poem, we’re reminded that stories shape our world and how poetry invites us in to partake in the narrative. In a history made of tweezers, / removing a splinter from a child’s palm, we question, Dear ghosts, / where do your atoms reside? -- with pain comes healing, with history comes inquiry. Santos’ poems are inventive, smart, and skilfully written and his work does not disappoint. Ghost Face is a beautiful collection that thoughtfully examines family mythologies, identity, and a longstanding belief in ghosts. These are poems I kept returning to, a book I could not put down." -- Kelli Russell Agodon, Author of Hourglass Museum & The Daily Poet: Day-by-Day Prompts for Your Writing Practice

"You had a happy childhood,” Greg Santos writes in Ghost Face. “Then you awoke in a strange town, / you were at a party, off in some corner alone. / Someone kissed you in the dark.” Within the exquisite, labyrin- thine memory palace of Ghost Face, migration and adoption converge in moving dramas of cultural displacement and belonging. Faced with 'The gravity of our world / always pushing down on our fragile bodies,' Santos’s poems dance with gratitude for community in all its forms, from the most delightful minute particulars of day-to-day family life to the grand technological wonders of interstellar exploration." -- Tony Trigilio, Author of Ghost of the Upper Floor
