South Broadway Ghost Society’s favorite pieces of 2019.
“Hungry Ghosts” by Chris Moore defies being put in any box of genre. Ranging from poetry to storytelling to essay to letters, Moore’s piece is maybe best described as the field notes of a breakup.

In less than 100 words overall, these three poems by Sam Pink find insight in strangely mundane places, leaving you per his instruction, in his cartoon.
These five poems, stationed as days of the week, show a dark sense of intimacy with captured moments.
This poem paints a beautiful story in three parts, all of which revolve around something very dear to us, bones.
“In eighth grade I became an addict,” begins Moore’s story, “I was addicted to masturbating and porno.” This beautiful memoir-esque piece goes on to explore childhood, shame and racism and other themes all alongside the story of the Challenger spacecraft.
The Washing Machine Sang :: Jane-Rebecca Cannarella
Cannarella’s “The Washing Machine Sang” is an incredibly piece about playing pretend in other people’s lives and the stories of inanimate objects.
