I'm not saying life won't continue
with its cups and its keys and rivers to cross
but sorrow will always buzz, iridescent
on black-veined wings...

-Ann Howells, "Without Warning"

Howells, a longtime member of the Dallas Poets Community and managing editor of its journal, Ilya's Honey, recently published a new chapbook, Black Crow in Flight.

I love how the rich imagery and masterful word choice convey such deep emotion.

Her chapbook is available through Main Street Rag Press. a wonderful meditation on growing up in the Chesapeake Bay area as well as a fond look at what family used to be in our country.

No one uses language more exquisitely or delicately than Ann Howells. All her poetry resonates with poignancy and imagination.

Ann Howells weaves her simple words into a fine tapestry which, like a great painting, may be revisited many times over for new insights. It is always a pleasure to indulge in her artistry.
