―Jeff Newberry, author of How to Talk About the Dead and Cross Country
Two worlds inhabit Justin Evans' Cenotaph, 'one of flesh and one of bone.' When I think of an empty tomb I think of darkness, yet Cenotaph is full of light. In this elegiac, evocative collection the Great Basin Desert is where the light dazzles-in the mornings where Evans finds hope in the resolve of each new day, and at dusk with its call for prayer. Evans sits with his dead in a landscape full of life, 'There is breath here, and breeze / that carries our song across the land.' He resists the heaviness of the past, and reveals in vivid, lyrical language 'not everything / is lost' that the dead and the living remain friends. Justin Evans' Cenotaph is a powerful psalm for those of us present and for those who have passed on.
-Suzanne Frischkorn, author of Fixed Star
