Review
"In Evidence is as stark as the stark realities it confronts. The 'liberation" its poems describe was a liberation only for a frightening few sad survivors. For the dead, and for the rest of humanity, it was a condemnation of the soul from which in some ways we shall never recover. This is a valuable and unfortunately a necessary work." --C. K. Williams -In Evidence is as stark as the stark realities it confronts. The 'liberation- its poems describe was a liberation only for a frightening few sad survivors.
