Ten Poems about Owls
Candlestick Press
The poems in Ten Poems about Owls explore the elusiveness of owls, as well as the thrill of a rare sighting. When a little owl is spotted on the branch of an olive tree in Greece, it looks more like a “small clay jar” than a bird. In another poem, the near-silent flight of a barn owl offers a moment of spellbound intimacy. The poems remind us that an encounter with any wild creature is a gift – and that meeting an owl in a poem can be every bit as magical as meeting one in the woods.
