A True & Just Record

A True & Just Record invites us to the three-way crossroads of poetry, feminist rhetorics, and early modern studies. Kate Bolton Bonnici weaves together archival materials from the English witch trials, 20th century poets and philosophers, and her own family. With fury and care, haunted by absences, these poems - all also forms of experimental scholarship - interrogate, disrupt, and play.

'Witch as spell, curse, praise, eulogy, recovery, incantation, archival raid and save... A wicked and wise achievement.' - Fred D'Aguiar, author of Letters to America and For the Unnamed

'Delightfully provocative lines bring fold and unfold of conjure and inquisition treatise.' - Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, author of Look at This Blue
