A Ghost Has No Fantasies (2026)

Buy from Unbound Edition Press
“Christian Bancroft has produced a kaleidoscopic work of docupoetics, vast in its scope and historical vision, one that draws our attention at last to the intimate voices of individuals otherwise lost in a time that would obliterate them. Brilliant, inventive, and deeply moving.” — Kevin Prufer
"Drawing from testimonies, oral histories, legal records, and memoirs, Christian Bancroft has crafted a devastating chorus of voices returned now to haunt our political present." — Roberto Tejada
"Bancroft holds both terror and desire in his hand simultaneously, and does not burn. A triumphant project of reclamation and exaltation." — Robin Coste Lewis

Queering Modernist Translation: The Poetics of Race, Gender, and Queerness (2020)

“Bancroft performs a nimble, admirable feat of scholarship, collapsing nearly a century of thought so that modernism and contemporary conversations around queer theory and translation practice can mingle and bolster one another.” — Conor Bracken, author of The Enemy of My Enemy is Me
“Bancroft zeros in on a smaller group of modernists while reimagining translation as both a site of political interpretation and a futuristic space of change and possibility.” — Asa Chen Zhang, Feminist Modernist Studies
Cover of Adelaide Crapsey: On the Life & Work of an American Master

Adelaide Crapsey: On the Life & Work of an American Master (2018)

Buy from Pleiades Press
“Crapsey’s selected poetry reads as the lost ligament between the essaying narratives of the nineteenth century and the spare, imagist experiments of the twentieth... She is no voice of the old world nor the new.” — David Keplinger, author of Another City
“In this Unsung Masters anthology, Crapsey—a vital, game-changing poet—finally takes her place in literary history.” — Hadara Bar-Nadav, author of The New Nudity
“Molberg and Bancroft have compiled a collection of Crapsey’s work poised to advance our understanding of the female experience of pain, loss, and courage in America.” — Ashley E. Reis, Ph.D., SUNY Potsdam
