About this title

Review

"Is it possible for a book to be both terrifying and enchanting? Little Domesday Clock is--I felt as if I had entered an ensorcelled place, that space from which all those forces now contending in the most urgent life and death ways for the very soul of the planet are being amplified and projected. If the earth has a score, it sounds a lot like this. Sam Witt's brilliant, imaginative book puts to shame much of the current vogue for a poetry of social mission--it invents our moment for us. I'm grateful." -- David Rivard
