Honoured that my poem “Absence” from Ghost Face (DC Books, 2020) is featured as part of Shannon Quist’s (@shannonrquist) digital thesis project titled ‘Ghost Kingdoms and Phantom Worlds: Narrative Strategies in Adoptee Autofiction.’ It means so much to know my writing has resonated with fellow adoptees and their journeys.

Ghost Face is one!!! 👻🥳📖 My poetry collection’s official publication date was September 15 2020, so it boggles my mind that it’s been one year out in the world. Many thanks again to the DC Books team and my Editor, Jason Camlot, for working on this book with me. Launching Ghost Face during the pandemic has been a strange experience, particularly since I haven’t done an in-person reading for the book all year. I’m thankful, however, for the online 2020/2021 book tour I was able to take part in with numerous virtual readings through Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, the USA, and more! I’m grateful for the generous and kind words I’ve received from family, friends, readers, and reviewers who have taken the time to delve through Ghost Face. Your support for this very personal book which touches on transracial adoption, identity, family, loss, love, faith, and ghosts, means the world to me. Shout-outs to stellar independent local bookstores like @phoenixbooksndg, @argobookshop, and @librairie.saga.bookstore and online venues like @alllitupcanada for stocking my book. It’s still a dream come true seeing my book sharing space and existing amongst other books. Thank you all so so very much. You sure know how to make a fella feel special.

Thank you for your support for Ghost Face since its launch this fall. It’s been a strange experience to have released a book during a global pandemic but I have been so touched by folks’ responses to it. I am immensely grateful for everyone’s encouragement and love for my memoir in verse. Best wishes to all for the holidays and for 2021! - GS “In Ghost Face by Greg Santos, we balance gracefully between the past, the present, and steadily through what haunts us.” - Kelli Russell Agodon “Santos’ poems dance with gratitude for community in all its forms, from the most delightful minute particulars of day-to-day family life to the grand technological wonders of interstellar exploration.' - Tony Trigilio “Ghost Face is an exploration of culture, family history, and absence versus presence.” - Jessica Drake-Thomas “Greg Santos is a poet of intense sensibility, who writes between the spaces of the concrete and the unseen. His book, Ghost Face, indeed embarks on the journeys of ghosts: the feelings or awareness that something is ‘there’ but that cannot be interpreted.” –Eleni Zisimatos, Vallum Magazine, 17:2 "Space" Issue, 2020 “The interplay between monologue, dialogue, narration, race, spirituality, identity, and memory is dignified, inquisitive, hopeful.” - Jay Miller, Variety Pack Magazine, Issue 3, 2020 Ghost Face By Greg Santos DC Books, 2020 (dcbooks.ca/ghostface.html) . . . #gregsantos #ghostfacepoetry #poetsofinstagram #bookstagram #poetry #montrealpoet #dcbookscanada #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #memoirinverse (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWYcklAzqJa76yqjpHpcfnLvRp3deaYo0UX8g0/?igshid=1k0m1pcov0z1e
