FREE VERSE EDITIONS, edited by JON THOMPSON | "Something magical happens in these pages-we are waked from forgetfulness and are pulled into a living history that revives us and spares us nothing. The reader demands 'we want /what is real, don't deny us' and Sousa does not disappoint. In exploring the narrative of Mary Rowlandson, Split the Crow employs lyric to stop time, draw it close, and inspect it on its own terms without being either pedantic or patronizing. Sousa bares essential truths of our young country; we have struggled all along defining ourselves by othering. In spite of this, Split the Crow shows all that is human is transitive. I had been dying to read this book until I read it; I did not know what I lacked until I was sated." -TJ JARRETT | "Split the Crow is rife with surprise, rich with inventive images from the natural world, and delicious with music. Weaving through centuries of Native American material culture, Sousa walks no straight lines. From 'Her Moods Caused Owls' "Once there was a girl who spoke / garlands' and (four lines later) 'her fear caused gardens.' This brilliant, idiosyncratic book rides the wave of language and consciousness rather than narrative, to breathtaking effect. And this poet is not just smart, she's wise." -ELLEN DORE WATSON | "The poems of Sarah Sousa's Split the Crow employ archaeology as a means of giving voice not only to the land, but to long-gone peoples. We discover the objects that individuals were equipped with for their final journeys, as well as witnessing their tales. Sousa's work picks up where conventional history has left off, giving voice to urgent testimonies. 'The Lost People,' states, 'On the train coming east, / not knowing what else to do, boys sang / the death songs our warriors sang riding into battle,' just one of many instances where Native American accounts find a ready home in Sousa's poetry. Split the Crow is a collection of tremendous magnitude that calls upon the past as a way to reconsider our present moment." -MARY BIDDINGER | SARAH SOUSA'S poems have appeared in The Massachusetts Review, Fugue, Passages North, Barn Owl Review, and Salt Hill Journal, among others. Her first collection, Church of Needles, won the Red Mountain Prize (Red Mountain Press, 2014). She is the editor and transcriber of The Diary of Esther Small; 1886, holds an MFA from Bennington College, and lives in Western Massachusetts with her husband and two sons.

Split the Crow Sarah Sousa 9781602356351 Books Reviews
This book is a little different than the previous books, all her work is wonderful-this one is superlatively written, emotionally wrent, informative,historical,thought provoking, I could keep going...I will keep going back to it for if for nothing else the hauntingly deep feelings it evokes in me-I love it! Great poet, person,I wish she could do a statewide tour, but in the meantime, I have her books to keep savoring and can't wait until her next project-terrific!!!
I rarely review books... I prefer to digest and tuck them away like secret treasures, pulling them out to reread as one seeks out the company and comfort of an old friend.
However, after reading Split the Crow I wanted to encourage others who enjoy words to sample Sarah Sousa's work. Her poems resonate as they paint a story with descriptions that touch the reader long after the book has been closed.
I'm in awe of Sarah Sousa. I was hooked from the opening poem called "Her Moods Caused Owls," when she writes
Once there was a girl who spoke
garlands; blossoms unspooled
from her mouth. Confused,
she tried to flee her own fecundity.
And her fear caused gardens.
I'm swallowing a story
that ends with blood-stained snow.
I know how this looks.
It appears to be true.
//
I feel it in my heart. I can't wait to devour her other work.
Beautiful and thought provoking. Highly recommend to poetry lovers!
