Witness by George Hammons

George Hammons’ collection Witness meditates on the body—its connections to others both human and of the natural world—and our own and others’ perceptions of the body, most specifically the black body. Every reader will find something movingly recognizable in these poems. Be sure that you are one of them. —Lynne Thompson, Fretwork and Beg No Pardon AUTHOR George Hammons is a Southern California poet whose work has appeared in American Mustard III, Cadence Collective, and The Pacific Review.
