Poetry. Chosen and with an Introduction by Jorie Graham, EVIDENCES is the winner of the sixth annual American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize. In poems that are by turns lyrical, disjunctive, autobiographical, and political, EVIDENCES sifts through residues of landscape and history. The physicality of the language and the invocation of the world of places and things form a meditative process, surveying the conditions of perception and memory, history and grace. "I do not believe it is possible to miss how brave this book is, how daring, and given over to beauty--both in its surface and in its love of what is on our surfaces"--Jorie Graham.
