Girl of Ghosts and Glass

This collection is a dreamlike blend of memory, nostalgia and fairy tales. Each part explores themes of innocence, loss of self, and the overwhelming beauty and ache of growing older. Through free verse and narrative poems, Erin explores how a girl becomes a ghost of herself, and how she learns, piece by piece, to return home again.

Blurring memory and myth, these poems revisit some of the stories we thought we knew: Wendy, who had to leave Neverland behind; Alice, still searching for wonder; the ghost who learns she was never truly gone; the mirror that reflects not beauty, but becoming.

Girl of Ghosts and Glass is an exploration of transformation and the in-between—what it means to carry every version of ourselves.
