Hawk's Cry - Hardcover

by Mary Pacifico Curtis (Author)

Hawk's Cry explores the ways in which humanity becomes flawed and the rippling of that brokenness into our relationships and our treatment of the earth. The hawk's ever-present circling cry is a call to consciousness.

Author Brian Turner has said this about the book: "In Hawk's Cry, the latest collection by Mary Pacifico Curtis, we are given a cry of pain and beauty, gods and prisons, Ai Weiwei, Greta Thunberg, and so much more-with Sinatra crooning from the past as we learn "the wisdom of the calendar." Hawk's Cry is a formally inventive collection, with meditations that span the concerns of the human heart while navigating a spiritual journey. It manages to be both restless in its curiosity and philosophical in its tender-hearted gaze."

This full-length collection is a long time in the making, and quite a few of the poems have been picked up by literary magazines
