Have Book Will Travel

Split the Crow, $14

Click here to purchase Split the Crow from the Parlor Press website “Split the Crow is rife with surprise, rich with inventive images from the natural world, and delicious with music. Weaving through centuries of Native American material culture, Sousa walks no straight lines. From ‘Her Moods Caused Owls': ‘Once there was a girl who spoke / garlands’ and (four lines later) ‘her fear caused gardens.’ This brilliant, idiosyncratic book rides the wave of language and consciousness rather than narrative, to breathtaking effect. And this poet is not just smart, she’s wise.” Ellen Dore Watson

Church of Needles $15

Poems in the voices of an abused farmwife, a ridiculed giantess, an escaped slave, and contemporary voices, mingle to tell a story of New England past and present. $15
