Excerpts of reviews of Does She Have a Name:

"Witte has done something extraordinary here. At once terrifying and heartrending, Does She Have a Name? demonstrates unflinchingly that what lies at the heart of faith is love. It is a great and important work."—Frank Wilson, Philadelphia Inquirer Read more at http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/literature/20140824_Three_new_books_of_poems__A_world_of_gadgets__and_something_greater.html#MJw1GDiOfmWSBiCK.99
