Description
Shortlisted for the Reading the West Book Award.
An owl caught Zach Hively going from a wedding to a gravedigging. From that encounter sprouted this series of poems and illustrations. Owl Poems grapples with ancestral loneliness and intense natural connection in sparse, evocative, even lighthearted imagery, guided always by the wise, observant, death-dealing owl.
These poems, from the Reading the West Book Award-winning poet of Desert Apocrypha and the Top of the Rockies award-winning humor columnist behind Fool's Gold, "will be boon companions for many, many years" (V. B. Price).

Person
Zach Hively and his dogs live in northern New Mexico. He continues to write and (somehow) publish the long-running Fool's Gold column, which has (somehow) won several first-place awards from the Society of Professional Journalists' Top of the Rockies awards. He has written three books of poetry so far, including Owl Poems and Wild Expectations. His Desert Apocrypha earned the Reading the West Book Award for poetry. Lest you try to find him in person, be warned: he plays the harmonica but refuses to get better at it.
