Body of Evidence by Kathleen Ellis
Body of Evidence by Kathleen Ellis
Winner of the 2022 Grayson Books Poetry Contest
Kathleen Ellis's Body of Evidence writes an American woman's life, from coming of age in the 1950's to experiencing the cultural revolution of the 1960's, traveling aboard and traveling within the landscape of one's own history, Body of Evidence looks back across the expanse of what Elizabeth Bishop once described as "our worst century yet." Ellis's work in particular focuses on the author's struggles with the legacy of Christian Science in her family and the refusal to acknowledge the life of the body. Hence, Body of Evidence is testimony to a woman's embodied life. It speaks truth, and it speaks with the wisdom of decades of practicing the craft of language.
