Synopsis

Francis Opila is an adventurer, now in the mind of a crow, now in the hunger of a three-legged coyote, now in the terror of an escaping rattlesnake.

Because of his shape-shifting, it's tempting to say his keen attention catches everything we miss, including our larger stories of cruelty and destruction.

And yet, with a steady voice in a book that is gentle and brave, he illuminates the world he steps into ahead of us.

- John C. Morrison, author of Monkey Island and

Heaven of the Moment

À propos des auteurs

Francis Opila is a rain-struck, sun-loving poet who lives in the Pacific Northwest. His work, recreation, and spirit have taken him into the woods, wetlands, rivers, mountains, and deserts. As a young man, Opila shunned poetry after enduring uninspiring lessons as a student. Some years ago, he discovered Rumi, which opened to a profusion of other poets, which led to now. Conference of the Crows is his debut collection of poetry, a compilation of poems from a dozen years through 2023. Francis enjoys performing poetry, combining recitation and playing North American wooden flutes.

Dale Champlin, a prizewinning Oregon poet with an MFA in fine art, has poems in The Opiate, Timberline Review, Pif, and many other journals and anthologies. Her press, Just a Lark Books, recently published A Joy to See, a celebration of the artwork of Kay Levine by twenty-eight renowned poets.
