Witness

by Jeanie Thompson

As in her first collection of poems, How To Enter The River, Jeanie Thompson is again signifier and witness to the sacred and the disturbing aspects of our world. Here she shares intensely personal testimonials of love for family and her native South. Thompson's readers will admire her willingness to examine a variety of relationships with honesty and bravery, including divorce and the awakening brought about by mature love and growth. Winner of the 1996 Benjamin Franklin Award for poetry.
