Music for Ghosts

Exploring themes of youth, hubris, and forgiveness, this poetry collection delves into the tension between personal experiences and universal truths. The poems reflect on a journey from a Pentecostal upbringing through the chaos of punk rock and addiction, juxtaposed with glimpses of redemption found in marriage and fatherhood. Locke's work captures the struggle against the shadows of the past while striving for joy and meaning, ultimately revealing a resilient quest for hope amidst loss.
