A collection of finely crafted short-form poems, marked out for their candour and observational precision. The book is published in hardback as a CentreHouse Press parallel text, with Angela D’Ambra’s translations into Italian alongside the original poems in English.

‘Peter Cowlam’s bi-lingual English-Italian collection of poetry, Ghosts in the Machine | Spettri nel meccanismo, is a finely wrought act of introspective minimalism. Structured predominantly as short-lined couplets, they range from imagistic meditations to intellectual and physical explorations.' Sudeep Sen, Tagore prize-winner.
