- Summary:
- In "An Unkindness of Ravens," Meg Kearney's poems weave voices of estrangement and redemption: mothers, daughters, lovers of gin and dead things. In the middle poems, the protagonist confronts "Raven": a figure of guises and disguises, revealing the speaker's fears and angst. National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet Donald Hall has written the Foreword.
- Meg Kearney is the Associate Director of the National Book Foundation. She was the recipient of the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and "New York Times" fellowships and received the Alice M. Sellers Academy of American Poets Prize in 1998. She lives in New York City.
