For the contemplative, nature-loving reader. An owl caught Zach Hively going from a wedding to a gravedigging. From that encounter sprouted this series of poems and illustrations. Owl Poems explores connections with nature in sparse, evocative, even lighthearted imagery, guided always by the wise, observant owl.

This paperback edition is run on 50# creme paper with a matte laminate finish, printed and bound in the United States. It was shortlisted for the Reading the West Book Award in Poetry.
