The Scent of his Feathers: a collection of dark verses

"My crow leaps in a sudden sweep of wing and sails past, the scent of his feathers a balm to a soon-broken soul..." A collection of speculative poetry from Pushcart Prize nominee Ash Krafton! ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★THE SCENT OF HIS FEATHERS: a collection of dark verses opens with a piece that leaves the reader wondering: Is the speaker victim or victor? Shadows can obscure the details that would cement our perceptions of individuals or events. Sometimes, shadows tell us more than we want to know.Shadows prevail in each of the poems in The Scent of his Feathers, but Krafton is not afraid of the dark. In this speculative poetry collection, she explores the darkness that surrounds us, dimming the edges of our well-lit worlds. Themes of death, devotion, despair, and desperation are expressed in subtle shades, allowing the reader to determine their own definitions.How a person interprets these pieces--a collection of tiny everyday deaths--will depend on the reader and the flavor of the shadows within that person's heart. Join Krafton as she explores the inherent beauty of twilight. Sympathize with the shadows of a soul. Understand what drives a spirit to desperation. And remember: without darkness, there can be no light.

About the Author

Ash Krafton is a writer of all things spec fic. She believes spectacular endings make the best beginnings... Why not? One billion black holes can't be wrong. The second bravest thing she's ever done was volunteering to go first when her Girl Scout troop visited a High Ropes challenge course somewhere back in the eighties. (Thankfully, few photos exist.) The third bravest thing was wearing her purple Colin Stuart boots with the extreme stiletto heel to her kids' school open house one year. (Three floors, all steps, no brakes.) The top of the Brave Things list, however, remains to be written.Contact Ash through her website: ashkrafton.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ashkraftonauthorTwitter: twitter.com/ashkrafton
