the
family of crow
A Poetry Chapbook by Joanne Arnott
Sexy, smart fun, the family of crow plays
on the edges of crow and human, masterfully exploring desire and yearning.
Eden Robinson
Joanne Arnott’s poetry is witty and complex.
She digs deep to capture the essence of flighty love and the illusiveness
of the “entire realms” played out within the human condition.
Poignant and raw…
Garry Gottfriedson, Poet, Traditionalist and Activist
What a beautiful and honest gesture of song, the family of crow.
Joanne Arnott shares the tender knowledge of creature-ness, that condition
of desire and recognition that expresses pure being as a singing presence.
This small gathering is a lovely aid to dwelling in that caw-caphony.
Fred Wah
Joanne Arnott dresses as crow by undressing
to become crow, and what is crow? These poems of wise eroticism
and deep family and extra-bodily humanity have black wings that are
the colour of water in the light.
