Ghosts Found

Ghosts Found is a chapbook centered on grief, survival, and the quiet ways we learn to live with what haunts us.

Rather than treating ghosts as something purely supernatural, the collection explores them as emotional residue—memories, relationships, and versions of ourselves that linger long after the moment has passed. The poems move through loss without rushing resolution, allowing space for confusion, anger, numbness, and, eventually, a fragile kind of hope.

Across the chapbook, the speaker confronts different forms of absence: people who are gone, experiences that were never fully understood, and the lasting imprint of trauma. There’s an ongoing tension between wanting to let go and needing to remember—between disappearance and survival.

At its core, Ghosts Found suggests that healing isn’t about erasing what haunts us. It’s about learning to carry it, name it, and sometimes even find meaning in it.
