“Burning The Ghost Light is a lyrical production of grief, excavation, and longing, and Conlon’s poems radiate in the limelight with both a fearlessness and a gentle humility. I have truly never read a collection like it before; Conlon has brought a level of stunning evolution to not just her own writing but to the craft itself.” — Sierra DeMulder, author of Ephemera

“An innovative and unyielding powerhouse of a book. Conlon does what all the best poets do: she slows down each moment and lets the reader savor each ache and awe, life’s entrances and exits, to create an emotional landscape so vulnerable, so lived-in, it takes your breath away. This genre-bending collection expertly utilizes the urgency of playwriting, prose’s deep interiority, and poetry’s stark surrealness. Its lyrical language will leave you audibly gasping as you fly through its pages.” — Kelly Grace Thomas, author of Boat Burned

“With a gift for plucking improbable tendernesses from the mundane landscapes of memory, Conlon’s speakers haunt & hallow the stages they inhabit, in all their fragmentation & howling. This book dives fearlessly into the rippling undertow of the self—& on the brink of drowning, it breaks the surface of the water, re-emerges gasping & alive. — Topaz Winters, author of So, Stranger and Portrait of My Body as a Crime I’m Still Committing
