Title: Negative history
First published: 1997
Description: Negative history is a legal term referring to decisions that have been overruled or questioned in some way by an appellate court. Through these enthralling poems, the reader enters spheres of history and emotion in which there are more often ironies to be observed than answers to be found or justice served. And yet what can be discovered through vivid visual detail, through the poet's eye, can lift us from our reliance on the world's determinations and into an appreciation of life's mysteries.
Subjects: Poetry (poetic works by one author)
