Conference of the Crows

<p>Francis Opila is an adventurer now in the mind of a crow now in the hunger of a three-legged coyote now in the terror of an escaping rattlesnake.</p><p>Because of his shape-shifting it's tempting to say his keen attention catches everything we miss including our larger stories of cruelty and destruction.</p><p>And yet with a steady voice in a book that is gentle and brave he illuminates the world he steps into ahead of us.  </p><p>      - John C. Morrison author of <em>Monkey Island</em> and</p><p><em>             Heaven of the Moment</em></p>
