I have long been fascinated 
by ravens.
The way their calls spread 
through the forest like a magic 
cloak. The hollow bamboo call, 
the dripping water call, the 
knock on wood, the gargle, the 
gurgle, the kraa, and the wow!

Among these sticks 
and bones, may you 
discover a shining 
treasure of your own.

About The Book:

One day while walking in the woods, Allison 
Douglas-Tourner came across a raven harvesting sticks for his nest, dropping them into a 
pile to use later, along with a few small bones. 
The experience became a poem. 
Gathered here is a collection of “sticks and 
bones” from moments in the poet’s life, each 
giving the imagination room to breathe—for 
that is the true magic of haiku
