Winter Morning with Crow

By Clare Rossini

In Winter Morning with Crow, it is Clare Rossini's consciousness (attentive, prescient, inspired) that makes her miraculous art, makes a poetry so pure and spare, so free of artifice or contrivance, that it seems to reinvent the page. This is poetry that restores to us something we have lost. It returns beauty, and faith in beauty, then reminds us (as the great painters remind us) that we are not meant to possess it-or the objects of our love. The wisdom of these poems is as ancient as Buson's crows painted against a stark landscape, the whiteness of winter morning. Clare Rossini is, with this extraordinary first book, already a master.

Great Stuff

I was introduced to this book back in my college days at St. Olaf College in Northfield, just across the Cannon river from Clare Rossini at Carlton College. What an amazing piece of literature; I highly recommend it to everyone. It's on a level that's both intellegent and simple. There's something here for everyone.
