A Hatching of Ghosts is a beautifully crafted collection of poetry by Bernard Briggs. It comes four long years after his breathtaking first collection 'Love, cry and Wonder Why' won the hearts of generations of readers. This second collection is filled with haunting imagery that immediately burns itself into the soul. In the words of Haworth Hodgkinson, "These ghosts, hatching at dawn, may well dance their way into the river of your daily consciousness."
