2011 CHAPBOOK CONTEST WINNER

Three Crows Laughing, by Moriah Erickson Three Crows Laughing
 By Moriah Erickson     $10.00

"Three Crows Laughing, is full of luminous grit. Each poem has punch, is pungent with both the bitter and the sweet. Erickson is a squatter in her Minnesotan turf, has staked her lot and holds her ground in line after line with terrific firmness and force. Be it poems about family, children or childhood, each poem “blooms into flame/gasoline on a spark of truth.” (“Liar”) Erickson’s characters, alive with the strife of life, people an inimitable world, one readers will be reluctant to leave."
—Elizabeth Kirschner, Author/Poet/Professor

"Moriah Erickson is in the business of getting to the bottom of things. Her poems are sharp, wicked and wise. She knows what our best poets know: hidden in nearly every experience, even the most chaotic, is some shining center. Three Crows Laughing is an exciting beginning by a fine young poet."
—Ryan Vine, Author of Distant Engines
