Product Description

Habeas Corpus

Jill McDonough's first book gives us fifty sonnets, each about a historical execution. Headed meticulously with name, date, place, they are poignant with the factual, with eyewitness reports and the words of the condemned - so limpidly framed that one forgets the skill that crystallizes all this into authentic poetry.
