Tongue of a Crow<\/i><\/h1>\n

Peter Coyote<\/h2>\n

Peter Coyote\u2019s first collection of poetry takes us on a whirlwind tour of an eclectic and exciting life as an actor and Zen Buddhist priest, meandering from love affairs to marriage to divorce to the Sixties to psychedelic spirituality and beyond.  Written over several decades, these poems read as a collage, each piece distinct and contributing to a cohesive lyric narrative.<\/p>\n

THIRTIETH YEAR<\/p>\n

On the verge of the creek\u2019s-edge field
\nmy young dreaming
\nhard against the turbulent water,
\nboys new to long pants
\ntrading girlie pix, Viceroy butts behind
\nthe garage. Rods, reels,
\nsilvery spinners shimmering out,
\ntempting the fish. The whip
\nof fiber poles, the flash
\nof line easy as promises to a
\ngirl I thought was stupid.
\nShe turned her head
\nto check my lips aimed at hers.
\nDon and Woody weren\u2019t dead
\nfrom bullets in eighth grade, released
\nto the muddy suck of the stream.<\/p>\n
