Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In\u00a0Blackbirds<\/em>,\u00a0Greg Santos\u00a0delves into the raw, private mythologies of parenthood, adoption, ethnicity, and uncertain histories. These lyrical poems bring us from Lisbon\u2019s winding ways, to cramped Paris quarters and sacred spaces, to Cambodian street markets \u2013 all those rooms, wombs, and ruins that make up a complicated and poignant personal history. Building on the wit and charm of his previous full-length collections, here Santos brings us to a space both dark and dear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ghost Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Montreal: DC Books, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In his third DC Books title, Ghost Face,<\/em> Greg Santos explores what it means to have been a Cambodian infant adopted at birth by a Canadian family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a uniquely playful and self-reflective series of poems that pay moving homage to his adoptive parents, and explore the fantasies of a lost family and life in Cambodia, Santos leads the reader through his visceral process of unlearning and relearning who he is and who he might become.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
