Negative history is a legal term referring to decisions that have been overruled or questioned in some way by an appellate court. Cathryn Hankla's poems allude to such ambiguity in the domain of a more personal justice, as the title poem suggests: “Petals of morning/open in lucid order/opposed to the law.//Here is a question without an answer.â€
