Jenny Joseph won the prestigious British Forward Prize for the best individual poem written in 1995. Her poem, 'In Honor of Love' was chosen and is included in Ghosts. Joseph's readers will recognize the familiar territory of her 'thinking heart', but her angle here is at a different slant, her mysteries are more resonant, her questioning more urgent, and her voice is both stonier and yet more personal than in her earlier work. These poems take language to its limits, speaking from the other side, echoing the unsaid.
