description: In An Unkindness of Ravens , Meg Kearney's poems weave voices of estrangement and mothers, daughters, lovers of gin, and dead things. &gt; In an attempt to create an identity―to imagine a past when all biological and genealogical ties have been severed―Kearney's poems create their own mythology in order to tell an emotional truth. A number of poems find the protagonist speaking to the character, Raven, who serves as an imaginary lover, friend, and the vehicle through which the reader identifies with the speaker's joy and angst.
