"Craig Blais is a tremendous talent. About Crows is a tremendous debut."—Terrance Hayes, Felix Pollak Prize judge and National Book Award winner|"These haunting, elegant poems are painted with smoke and the colors of the evening sky, and I feel as though I'm peering into rather than merely reading them. Each promises that something is about to happen; the tension they create is irresistible, and as I turn the pages, I find myself drumming my fingers in anticipation and thinking, 'More, please—more.'"—David Kirby
