Evidences

2003 Winner
The American Poetry Review /Honickman First Book Prize in Poetry

James McCorkle for Evidences
Selected by Jorie Graham
In poems that are by turn lyrical, disjunctive, autobiographical, and political, Evidences sifts through residues of landscape and history.  The physicality of the language and the invocation of the world of places and things from a meditative process, essaying the conditions of perception and memory.
