"There is a crow flying through my body - a book of meditations that explores 'Bach emanating from a blanket', 'God thinking in onions', '[a]n apricot [that] is not a snowball', Heisenberg, George Harrison, and, yes, crows. There is a book flying through my body, a John Olson book, which means it might be reading me, even as I read it - even as I think I may be arriving closer to the source of all things. Olson - as he has for years - effortlessly interweaves philosophy, personal experience, mystical thought and pop culture, exposing a thread that is contentedly restless. As he asks, 'Is there intelligent life elsewhere in space? Is there a parallel universe where people walk on the ceiling and poetry is the highest paid profession?Who wrote The Book of Love, and where can I get a copy?' Okay, you can find The Book of Love by grabbing this stunning new book by the horns but allowing it to wrestle you to the ground!"

- GEORGE KALAMARAS, former Poet Laureate of Indiana
