Hawk's Cry - Hardback

Hawk's Cry explores the ways in which humanity becomes flawed and the rippling of that brokenness into our relationships and our treatment of the earth. The hawk's ever-present circling cry is a call to consciousness.

Author Brian Turner has said this about the book: "In Hawk's Cry, the latest collection by Mary Pacifico Curtis, we are given a cry of pain and beauty, gods and prisons, Ai Weiwei, Greta Thunberg, and so much more-with Sinatra crooning from the past as we learn "the wisdom of the calendar." Hawk's Cry is a formally inventive collection, with meditations that span the concerns of the human heart while navigating a spiritual journey. It manages to be both restless in its curiosity and philosophical in its tender-hearted gaze."

This full-length collection is a long time in the making, and quite a few of the poems have been picked up by literary magazines
