In The Doing

By Susan Isla Tepper

Bird pecked me ‘til
it was over.
A monster species
crow could fly while
I was ground-bound.
I lived and it died.
What are the odds?
It wanted to kill me
instead offed itself in the act.
There is something to
be said about that.


Crow at the End of the World, a painting by James Eret

FOOTFALLS, James Eret’s book, features selected poetry by an established author and artist. This carefully curated collection explores a spectrum of subjects, from the writer’s Vietnam War experiences, to his favorite hobby of bird-watching, and the detritus of growing up in a very large family.

He has had a one man show of his art in San Diego. James lives with his family, two feline friends, and an ever-expanding menagerie of wild visitors to his urban oasis in the midst of the all-too-urban San Diego watershed.
