Speak of the Ghost: In The Name of Emotion Literacy

Speak of the Ghost is an evocative work that fleshes out, in a series of seventy-eight finely detailed narrative poems, the author's retrieval of a full spectrum of feeling in the face of personal and universal repression and censorship. The author, Pamela Sackett's premise: "The greatest gift to be had in tracking childhood and teenage mistreatment is in developing the capacity to communicate with, be nourished by and house the great spirit in your own emotions." The book supports and validates intense feelings that arise in a recovery process and has been praised as extremely useful by adult children of alcoholics, incest survivors and others coping with trying formative years. Speak of the Ghost is available for $15.95 through Emotion Literacy Advocates' web site.
