A Scripture of Crows

"Whether he is mourning the passing of a friend, channeling the ruminations of an honest old turkey vulture, or claiming kinship with the tick that hitches a ride on his socks, Charles Goodrich will move and delight you. His poems draw us into a reality where mating dragonflies clack their wings "like crazy little gods" and a nighttime camped in deep woods is filled with unidentifiable laughter. He sings of transcendence and connection in a world where nature never stops sending us messages if only we can learn to read them." -- Barbara Drake, author of Driving One Hundred
