Conference of the Crows - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Francis Opila is a rain-struck, sun-loving poet who lives in the Pacific Northwest. His work, recreation, and spirit have taken him into the woods, wetlands, rivers, mountains, and deserts. As a young man, Opila shunned poetry after enduring uninspiring lessons as a student. Some years ago, he discovered Rumi, which opened to a profusion of other poets, which led to now. Conference of the Crows is his debut collection of poetry, a compilation of poems from a dozen years through 2023. Francis enjoys performing poetry, combining recitation and playing North American wooden flutes.

Dale Champlin, a prizewinning Oregon poet with an MFA in fine art, has poems in The Opiate, Timberline Review, Pif, and many other journals and anthologies. Her press, Just a Lark Books, recently published A Joy to See, a celebration of the artwork of Kay Levine by twenty-eight renowned poets.
