Intermingling poems in verse with poems in prose, Witnesses is a cry of love, suspended in time, with the terror and beauty of youth. The purity of its timbre evokes John Keats, but its vast respiration and bold roaming connect it mysteriously to Walt Whitman. It teaches us to take delight, all over again, in the miracle of utterance.
