QUOTES ABOUT THE BOOK:
In Vestigia, Brendan Ellis Williams invites us on a quest which “never suffered a fool. Its initial act / takes place in an archival breast.” We encounter an apocalypse of collapsing time, where the deeply ancient, the classical, and the modern blur and echo each other. These poems, “containing little breaths of time,” reflect grief, knife-sharp spirituality, and witty aestheticism, expressed in language equally experiential and cerebral. Perhaps most critically, Vestigia insists on the value of record, of memory, of the beauty and blood of the past and present. These poems offer the gift of complexity and truth, shot through with delicate hope: “There is a map, we believe—and a way in which it is someday found.”
—Katrina Greco, author of Everywhere Green and Scorch Marked
