HOW TO BUILD THE GHOST IN YOUR ATTIC

With wit, dynamism, and cutting senses of urgency and humor, Iowa Prize winner Shippy tells the tale of Isaac Makepeace Watt, a melancholy man living in a Thebes that is much like contemporary America.
The House of Cadmus still rules(and will fall), but they only appear in the poem as media white noise. Isaac’s concerns are personal, his father’s illness and his own moral decrepitude. There are talking monkeys, plagues, oracles, and nano-robots—you know, the usual agoramania.
