MFA Professor Gregory Pardlo’s poetry collection Spectral Evidence was published today by Penguin Random House. Spectral Evidence, a powerful meditation on Blackness, beauty, faith, and the force of law, moves fluidly among considerations of the pro-wrestler Owen Hart; Tituba, the only Black woman to be accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials; MOVE, the movement and militant separatist group famous for its violent stand-offs with the Philadelphia Police Department; and more. Congratulations, Greg!
