Product Description
by Edmund Quinby (Illustrator), Alexander Ness (Author)
A poet with a history background and an artist with a love of the subject matter create words and images that remember the savage history of the Vikings. Drawn from history, from accounts such as The Sagas of Icelanders, the Vikings are remembered for more than discovery, more than savagery, but as a culture who worshiped their Gods, went to sea for discovery and war, and have caused present age readers to marvel at their courage.
Author Biography
Ed Quinby, artist at large, and myself, Alex Ness, would like to introduce ourselves to you and offer the work, The Ravens of Odin, to you. It is a fifty poem and illustrations collection chronicling the Viking Age, the people, their beliefs and the events that made the world aware of their unique qualities. I am trained as a historian (Master's of History, NDSU), but my passion has always been writing, and poetry writing in particular. My work, in the many genres and media I've worked in can be found at http: //alexnesspoetry.blogspot.com/ . Ed is an accomplished artist with his own BFA, having drawn for decades for both commercial and personal projects.
