It's finally done! 160+ pages of poetry, illustration, and nonsense by yours truly. Print books are being worked on, but a digital edition is available through my itchio storefront (linked next post). I really hope y'all enjoy it. #poetry #smallpress

The cover spread of the book, Ghost Walks. A large field with dilapidated houses, seemingly fallen from the sky, is inhabited by small ghostly forms. A bright blue sky is over head. The book blurb reads,

"Over five years in the making, Ghost Walks is a sprawling poetry
collection gathering prose from sketchbooks, scraps of paper, and
the author's notes app. Cameron's work within handles loss, longing,
love with a bare and earnest heart. Merging celestial phenomena with
history and a personal pantheon of his own, he weaves mundane
moments into something sacred."

A page excerpt from the book. The poem, "a story", is surrounded by illustration- flowers, shooting stars, a crumbling house, a figure obscured. The poem reads,

i want you to
tell me a story
a beginning, a middle
an end.
where everything
goes right-
it always went right.

i’ve asked this
enough to last until
god snuffs out our wicks-
there’s no hint
in the eyes, in the breath
that you mind.

everyone gathers ‘round
to witness another miracle.
a defiance, right here
in southern suburbia;
you take a breath–

A page spread excerpt from the book. The poem, "god damns the soil", reads:

god damns the soil
with a stale 40, bored
like one decides which
tie looks best for a funeral.
salted, the fauna flee first;
propelled by something
far older than the world,
long before the grasses
turn and wither.

next, unease moves in
buys a new condo at
ten under asking (what
a bargain, they’d say)—
the bushes & violets
blanch.

something's in the water
these days, pooling
in between the cracking
pavement slabs, weeds
don’t see the point of trying
anymore. you once dove

back over and over, but
the crick’s gone shallow;
the well only brings up
something brackish these days.

...

something's in the water
these days, turning daughters
into shallow graves. barren
cemetery dirt peels into lazy
curls, hangs there limp
at your shoulders; steady
pressure on the vertebrae

…

it's a shame— you never stood
a chance.
