In this revised and expanded edition of Conversations With Ghosts by Ryan Donnelly, readers are once again welcomed into a great time of transition for the author. A new forward and afterword added by the author offer some further insights into the meaning and importance of such a personal book about the complex effect that love and loss can have on the heart and soul. Conversations With Ghosts holds moments of heartache, heartbreak, the passing of time, the perils of taking a chance on love, and ultimately, the power to be found in never giving up on hope. It is a book of poetry and prose meant for anyone trying to find a way to say something that matters to those who are no longer there to listen anymore. It is an emotionally-charged essay on the addiction to love and the brutal hangover that it leaves behind in its wake. It is a raw and honest look at the heart of an author who has spent a lifetime checking into different forms of emotional rehab. Through his words and continued reflection on the familiar pain of losing those he has ever loved so dearly, Conversations With Ghosts is a love letter of sorts, sent out to a life that no longer exists, to lovers who have moved on, and to an impersonal universe that doesn't like to pull any punches. Take the journey into a book that is both a middle finger and a 'thank you' to love and hope.
