Rick Steber releases new book of poems

Crook County author Rick Steber has released his seventh volume of Western poems and prose, titled “Raven Speaks.” Some creatures simply cross the land, Steber noted. Raven crosses something deeper-slipping between the world we know and the one just beyond, carrying wisdom in one wing and mischief in the other. In the book, Steber explores ravens and ancestors, loneliness and belonging and the people who came before us — and those who remain. Described as part folklore, part meditation, part love letter to the wild West, “Raven Speaks” invites readers to look again at the black-winged creature watching from a fencepost, treetop or winter sky. “Sometimes, those things we think we realize are the very things that are trying to tell us something,” Steber stated. Steber has published more than 50 books worldwide, with sales exceeding 2 million copies.
