PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by George Monteiro (Author)
As the Crow Flies comes out of George Monteiro's twenty-year fascination with the crows that have shared his Connecticut environs, giving much less attention to him than he gives to them. Part observation, part response, part meditation, these poems offer a range of poetic techniques to match the many moods and states of mind in which Monteiro has encountered the crows of Connecticut.
