It's gorgeous and provocative. And to add to the interest, Bowen is a descendant of Samuel Sewal, one of the Salem judges who sentenced witches to death. And Willis has a couple ancestors who were accused of, and/or killed for being witches in Maryland around the same time. There is an excellent interview/discussion at the end of the book, as well as a list of resources, and a list of all those who were accused of witchcraft in Salem and their fate.

An image-text collaboration by Elizabeth Willis and Nancy Bowen. 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." / "A witch may cry out sharply at the sight of a known criminal dying of thirst." 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, and state violence, as well as cultural practices of resistance and repair.
