New Book! In Her Terms by Toti O'Brien!

From Alturas:

My apologies for condoning the hawk

for not holding its predating nature

against it. We all hunt, just

in different ways.

The hawk does it beautifully

as large birds do, sunlit

and in plain sight.

. . . I seem to have been wed

to the hawk time ago, in prehistoric eras

our tie as indissoluble

as a sacrament. Let me

celebrate the rite of the hawk,

hawk and I, hawk and eye, the long gaze

the telescopic vision.
