Caw: An Anthology of Poems A groundbreaking (and completely unnecessary) literary experiment written entirely in the language of crows. Have you ever wondered... "What if a crow could write poetry?" This riveting anthology clears up that mystery. Inside this book, the poems are composed of one word only: "caw." That's it. And yet somehow... that one word captures everything. Love poems that sound like arguments, philosophical reflections on existence delivered from a rooftop at 3 a.m, battle cries, gossip, prophecies, complaints about the weather, and possibly insults. All expressed through the variations, rhythms, repetitions, and emotional intensity of one profound word. Meaning isn't something you explain... it's something you feel... These aren't poems you "read" in the traditional sense. These are poems you interpret. Or misunderstand. Or assign deep meaning to while nodding slowly so others think you get it. It is perfect for: Lovers of absurd humourFans of experimental poetryEccentric dub-poetsPeople who have been stared at by a crow a little too long and felt judgedReaders who enjoy it saying "this is actually profound..."Anyone else who wishes to delve into the psyche of a poetry-reciting crow.Some pages will feel like wisdom. Some will feel like chaos. Some will feel like a crow somewhere is listening and is definitely laughing at you. And by the end, you may find yourself fluent in something you can't explain to other humans. Or you may just keep saying "caw" under your breath for no reason. Either way, these poems would have transformed you on a fundamental level. Read it. Interpret it. Crow back at it... if you must.
