In this collection of deeply felt poems, James Clarke challenges his conscience as he examines his decades-long experience as a judge, exploring what it means to sit in judgement of people, and what attaining such a position entails. These are poems that will resonate with anyone who cares about fairness, truth, power, and freedom.
