G.C. Waldrep and John Gallaher received praise for their collection of poetry, Your Father on the Train of Ghosts.  Boston Review notes that this poetry calls in a unique perspective of collective voice between the two authors.  The poetry is seamlessly assembled into poems with "real strength." Waldrep and Gallaher's poetry is a pleasing "example of contemporary work" that seeks to "express the exhaustion of excess."  Not one poem is wasted in contributing to the collection.  Each poem dives into the communion of speakers and souls as they share awareness and become a whole new creative voice together. Together, Waldrep and Gallaher "create a closed conversational loop" but one that simultaneously creates an "effect...of welcome."
