Speak of the Ghost:

In The Name of Emotion Literacy


Speak of the Ghost is an evocative work that taps deeper instincts and fleshes out, in a series of seventy-eight finely detailed narrative poems, the author's retrieval of a full spectrum of feeling in the face of personal and universal repression and censorship. Sackett's premise: "The greatest gift to be had in tracking childhood and teenage mistreatment is in developing the capacity to communicate with, be nourished by and house the great spirit in your own emotions."
Speak Of The Ghost cover
"Take a look at Pamela's book and you will find everyone on trial, caught and transformed. I loved those poems."
—Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., author of The Leader as Martial Artist

Speak of the Ghost audio CD

 
In 1993, before publication of Speak of the Ghost: In The Name of Emotion Literacy, Pamela Sackett recorded thirteen of the pieces at Jack Straw studios in Seattle. Now you can hear the author in her inimitable, heartfelt style, still fresh from the generative process that gave her a deeper self-knowledge and lead her to the founding of Emotion Literacy Advocates™. (Running time: 42:52)
"As I listened to you, I heard the truth of my own story, uttered with such passion and wit...I felt shivers as the wave of realization rippled through me. Thank you for putting words to my experiences. I feel more deeply empowered to utter my own story now."
—audience member, Elliott Bay Book Company
