About the Book

“When thinking about the title for this book, I thought of the
idea that man will fade from sight but will never vanish.

Life is good and bad,
happy and sad.
We come and go
with nothing to show.

But our souls in the mist,
thus the title for this.... EVANESCE.”

Author Mary Martina Dockter touches on a wide array of topics in her anthology of poetry, Evanesce. Containing more than two hundred poems, this book evokes many different emotions: it inspires, stimulates, amuses, saddens, soothes, and a host of other reactions

From the poem, “The Sentinel” which calls to mind William Blake’s passage of one who can see “…the world in a grain of sand”, the soothing “Tranquility” and its wise counsel of having a holistic worldview, to the bright “Sunrise” reminding us of the promise that each new day brings, and many other beautiful poems, this anthology definitely has something for everyone.
