Per Diem Archive: S. Kempen November 2018, Ravens and Crows
A collection of haiku featuring ravens and crows, highlighting corvid being: the inventiveness and adaptability of these birds, with some species being able to recognise themselves in the mirror, even show empathy. Their diversity and proximity to human communities has meant that from ancient times, ravens and crows entered human mythology and folklore, populated the arts and our mindscapes becoming potent religious, spiritual, dream symbols.
*The poem ‘march evening’ was translated from German to English by Silvia Kempen
