dc.description.abstractholiness and other hauntings is a poetry collection that seeks to understand other people. Armstrong uses her poems to track herself back through time to her cousins, her parents, her grandparents, her teachers, and friends. Her work explores queerness and Catholicism, family fraught and family found, love and grief and guilt and ghosts. Her poems lean towards music; internal rhyme, assonance and consonance, alliteration, and long strings of rhymed vowels that sit like pearls in the mouth. Her poems beg forgiveness in shouts; she writes as remembrance, as prayer, as missive, as an engine for hope.en
