Book cover of Robert Krut's fourth poetry collection.
"Whether through surreal imagery, or storylines lifted from our strangest dreams, Watch Me Trick Ghosts has a chill to rival the most ravishing Gothic novel, and the simmer of film noir."
--Mary 
Biddinger

"Pick a card, any card.  Burst into flames.  These poems are the lights you’ve been waiting to walk into..."
--Matt Hart
