[Elijah · Rating 3 out of 5]

The bulk of the poems in this book aren't that great, but overall the collection is a fine meditation on owls and our several reactions to them. It has a lot of Native American chants and such, most of which lose their vitality in being written and not spoken. There were a few poems that were outstanding, and some that were horrible, but most were at least decent. I would read through this one again at some point to revisit the better poems inside.
