"While skiing across new snow on the high plains near Mosquero, New Mexico, I notice a raven gliding on my right, her wings glinting in the sun," Nancy Culmone recalls in the colophon of Raven. From that encounter sprang this work, showcasing Culmone's artistry and engrossing talent. The text seems to move in and out of colors that adorn each page, like a raven darting between branches.
