With this hauntingly woven collection of creative nonfiction and poetry, Cullinane shares these ghosts and the painful, powerful, and wonderful experiences that made her the woman she is today. Cullinane is a neurodivergent poet, author, and mom in Boston. After raising a family and working for many years as a young mom, she was able to return to her graduate studies later in life and earned her master’s in 2021. Under the guidance of many amazing and supportive female professors, Cullinane began submitting her work for publication.

Her latest work, Ghosts Only I Can See, wields Cullinane’s story to encourage readers to look into the past, present, and future of all women’s lives. Growing up with many resilient and strong women, Cullinane was an avid spectator of their lives, their passions, and their trauma as she found her own way through the world. As she got older and decided to grasp her ghosts even closer, Cullinane truly began to understand the tender weaving of women’s lives and their multitude of shared experiences—both of which often remain invisible today because of collective shame, individual shame, and the pressures of perfection in society. The desire to make visible the invisible underlies Ghosts Only I Can See.

Reviews:

“Women have so many layers to their lives, and the author brilliantly captures that accumulation of selves that make us who we are.”

--Anonymous, Amazon Reviewer

“Julie Alden Cullinane has mastered the art of creative reflection on girlhood, womanhood, and motherhood. Ghosts Only I Can See takes you through a journey of discovering the value of one’s voice. Each poem and essay reveals how our trauma informs who we are and the way we interact with the world, especially for women. I encourage anyone who has ever felt unheard to read this book!”

--Megan Griffin, Amazon Reviewer
