The poems in Ruth Bardon's Witness are deceptively simple; they're short and clear, and most focus on small episodes of daily life, starting with childhood and continuing into old age. The complexity comes from the ways in which the poems are infused with later knowledge, with understanding and compassion, and with a persistent awareness of the fragility and brevity of our lives. 2024 Finalist-Birdy Poetry Prize, by Meadowlark Press
