Ghosts I Have Seen by Violet Tweedale
Chapter IV: East End Days
& Night
Design: Joseph Carlough
Illustrations: Alyssa San Valentine
I believe this is the second volume of Violet Tweedale’s
memoire that Joseph and collaborators have reproduced from the original book which was published in 1919 (the year my parents were born!).
Ghosts I Have Seen
is a gorgeously produced chapbook. Violet Tweedale discusses religion and
spirituality, Madame Blavatsky, and curious phenomena within these pages. She approached
life with an open mind and audacious spirit, and chronicled her experiences via
flourishes of nimble prose. Though San
Valentine’s childlike artwork seems oddly incongruent juxtaposed with the
substance of Tweedale’s writing, I highly recommend this chapbook.
