The Blackbird's Boast Wray C McCalester

Wray McCalester's way of weaving words into poems is something special. These little treasures carry with them a traditional comfort, and at the same time, a fresh, new perspective, especially his haikus. From my own life's work in graphic illustration, music and public radio, I see the ancient need for storytelling grow ever more important as we journey through this fast-paced 21st century. McCalester and his medium add a vibrant and timeless texture to that fine art.
