The Witness

In a winding collection of poems and songs, suites and warning signs, Ms. Navin tackles a stark testimonial to the effects of sexual trauma on the cusp of adulthood.Equations of words.And poetry is an algebra to me,a branch of my own formulation.If you sit and watch a cataclysmsizzle into the brain,that wound tears open,and a void remains.Black hole of our universe--Resist.Listen.

-- Julia Navin
