Overview

The Quiet Witness: Civic Poems of Power, Memory, and Conscience What does it mean to remain awake in a culture that rewards forgetting? In this collection of civic poetry, Jim Kelly writes as The Quiet Witness-exploring race, history, political language, denial, power, and moral endurance. These poems confront inherited memory, examine the performance of authority, and question what loyalty costs. From ""Under the Oak - Stay Woke"" to ""Pull Emergency Disaster Cue Card,"" the collection traces a steady arc through awakening, power, and endurance. It challenges readers not to become the brutality they oppose and not to shrink in order to remain comfortable. Direct. Restrained. Unflinching. The Quiet Witness is a book for readers who believe awareness is not extremism-and that memory is not a crime.
