'You can't get there from here, but if you could, you'd have to take the train'. Ghost Train , Sean O'Brien's fourth collection of poems, rides the network of routes into history, politics, autobiography, and the imaginative region where they meet. The tone of this book is new for this author: sombre and expansive, elegiac and celebratory, Ghost Train is his most subtle book to date. This book is intended for poetry readers.
