The Ghosts I Know

“”It’s about my life, college, businesses, and other things. My dreams, dream writing. I’ve been going through a lot and no one respected me like I respected them. The challenges were talking about my life, my past, and something I don’t want to talk about. If I can remember. I know it’s a kind thing, but what am I going to do? I don’t want to overthink it. Too much energy, too much time to waste. It’s a cool story. It has good parts to it. It’s about my family, my life, my stories.”” —Mary Ayetey Mary Ayetey is a Black Autistic writer from Minnesota and winner of the Cow Tipping Prize. Her multi-genre collection, The Ghosts I Know , is kinetic and innovative. At times blurring the past, and other times distilling exquisite details from her memories, she builds cities to wander through. Her writing probes at her identity and personal history, taking the world apart and putting it back together with dynamic, purposeful language. Cow Tipping Press teaches and publishes writing by people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, giving audiences a new way to think about this rich form of human diversity in practice and in print.
