Owl Poems - Zach Hively - Bog

Shortlisted for the Reading the West Book Award.

An owl caught Zach Hively going from a wedding to a gravedigging. From that encounter sprouted this series of poems and illustrations. Owl Poems grapples with ancestral loneliness and intense natural connection in sparse, evocative, even lighthearted imagery, guided always by the wise, observant, death-dealing owl.

These poems, from the Reading the West Book Award-winning poet of Desert Apocrypha and the Top of the Rockies award-winning humor columnist behind Fool's Gold, "will be boon companions for many, many years" (V. B. Price).
