"Spectral Evidence: The Witch Book is the result of a meeting between Elizabeth Willis, descendent of one of the convicted and executed "witches" of the Salem witch trials, and Nancy Bowen, descendent of Samuel Sewall, a prominent judge in the trials. Spectral Evidence pairs each of the 46 stanzas of Willis's "The Witch Poem" with a drawing or collage by Bowen, whose iconographic style moves deftly between humor and seriousness, echoing the affective range of Willis's poem: "With a glance, she will make rancid the fresh butter of her righteous neighbor." / "She finds it difficult to overcome the sadness of the last war." The book includes a conversational afterword by the authors and editor exploring the connections between this project, with its roots in the history of the Salem witch trials, and the broader interwoven contexts of capitalist and colonial power structures, current U.S. politics, heteropatriarchy, state violence, and cultures of resistance"--
