In 'Witness Trees' Lorna Shaughnessy chronicles several mysterious journeys in a search for resolution; although the nature of the mystery may not always be specified, it nudges uncomfortably within wintry and unrelenting settings, reminding us of that dark but often unstated material world which forges human experience. Her poetry contains echoes of other European poets and thinkers, from Lorca to Rene Char, and the voice is a deeply serious one, a testimony to the corrupt, the unfinished, and the vanished evidence that lingers in personal and public history.
