"It is unbefitting to believe in ghosts, to believe what one reads, /what one writes," writes Natalie Shapero in her mischievous debut collection. With sharp wit and relentless questioning, Shapero crafts poems a reader can, if not believe in, then trust—to level with us, to surprise us, and to stay with us long after we put the book down. No Object is a fast ride you will not easily forget.
