Publisher's Synopsis
This impressive collection offers intimate, intense engagement with the great horned owl and the natural world. By casting every poem in the second person (every "you" is the great horned), the poems necessarily break into lament, rapture, and other rhythms of thought to meet the moment. Each poem is a healing song. Beneath the surface the reader will encounter grief, personal loss, sober reckonings with mankind and history, but also love, fervor, and always awe for this creature.
