I am honored yet again to see one of my poems published by Dead Snakes.  Thanks to Editor Stephen Jarrell Williams for allowing me to share “Graceless Ravens Envy You” at the link below:

And, by the way, my friend Tejal Jhaveri Moen has also published a new piece at Dead Snakes!  Click the link below to read “A Tearless Cry.”

Anyway … in searching Wikimedia Commons for a public domain photo for this post, I learned that there is such a thing as a “Chihuahua Raven” (corvus cryptoleucus). That’s just wrong on several levels.  I suggest that we hunt it to extinction.
