An Unkindness of
Ravens
by
Meg Kearney
Foreword by Donald Hall
New Poets of America
Series
In An Unkindness of Ravens, Meg Kearney’s poems
weave voices of estrangement and redemption: mothers, daughters,
lovers of gin and dead things. In an attempt to create an identity—to
imagine a past when all biological and genealogical ties have
been severed—Kearney’s poems create their own mythology
in order to tell an emotional truth. A number of poems find the
protagonist speaking to “Raven”: a figure of guises
and disguises, revealing the speaker’s fears and angst.
National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet Donald Hall has
written the Foreword.
The
Trouble with Creation
Garden,
pond,
man,
woman,
worm
in
the tequila,
salt
licked
from
the back
of
his hand,
lemon
squeezed
between
bountiful
thighs,
sunshine
on
the tongue,
moonlight
on
the water—
Come
on in,
the
water's
fine—
smoke
in the belly,
apple
in her eyes,
oh,
forbidden
script,
turn out
the
lights,
pour
us
another
drink,
have
some pie.
