“Here is a poet with a stolen quill in his hand and birdsong in his heart. Marc Beaudin’s poems dip and swerve and caw; if you listen closely enough, you might just begin to understand that the ache of the human heart can only be translated through the language of crows.

From A Handful of Dust:
"Nanisana, nanisana,
Nahata bitaawu hatna waa-uhu.
My children, my children,
Look! The earth is about to move.
–Arapaho Ghost Dance Song
... This is my first night at a small cabin some miles outside of the northern Michigan town of Grayling. I have come here to finally write my book. Three white-tail deer come past my window eating blueberries; one still in spots – a late birth. The music of Miles Davis mingles with a stick of Nag Champa to fill my air with an exotic fury. My third beer has emptied itself and left me unsatisfied. I am alone. I am filled with the Dance. I am alone and I am alive. ..."
