Summary:

Doe began as Baker's attempt to understand and process the news coverage of a single unidentified woman whose body was thrown from a car leaving Phoenix, Arizona. It soon grew into a seven-year-long project with the goal to document, mourn, and witness the stories of missing and unidentified women in the United States. "My choice for the award is Doe -that book is so good, so well executed with such difficult subject matter. I admire its active courage, its commitment to witnessing what so many reject. It stayed with me through reading all the others-fantastic books, the lot of them. But Doe is a game changer, a silence eliminator." -Allison Joseph, 2016 Akron Poetry Prize judge
