Book excerpt: In this diverse anthology, over 80 poets of the Golden State hold forth on the theme of crows and ravens offering passionate, vivid, sometimes humorous, and ever-surprising views of these common birds that live among us, but retain their mystery. Herein lies a lively exploration of the dark muse: proof that these paradoxical birds, called "black as the sun" by Gary Snyder, continue to fascinate, and are busier than ever strutting, flying, perching, preening, and disturbing the peace of poets with their raucous noise.
