The Observer Effect: Poems

"We don't come to see the ghosts; we come to become one."
from "Abstraction"

In these hauntingly bold poems, K. M. Lighthouse explores the relationship between observer and observed
in a series of public performances of privacy. The themes of the poems vary wildly from childhood misunderstandings
to the making of octopus paella, and yet a common thread carries them all toward the same conclusion: that
behavior--and by extension, reality--changes dramatically under observation.
