Nighthawk Storyteller

Nighthawk Storyteller reflects the reverence DyAnne Korda holds for the natural world and shows how archetypal tales can awaken a reality beyond the ordinary. Her poems come from ancestors in dreams, animal guides, daily walks with her irrepressible husky, and an intimacy with northern woods and waters. By paying close attention to every season, Korda illustrates her experiences through profound poetry to help people understand their own connection to Earth.
 
Her writing unveils
 
…birds that make
no nests for precious eggs—so perfectly do they blend
with field and wood, their bodies vanish as they land.
 
And she introduces an old woman who
 
…whispers
violet snow
then traces
she-bear’s
meandering
dreams along
the boundless rim
of this hollow sky.

Reviews
What a journey—traveling from the caves to the sky. The caves of the sky. The way Nighthawk Storyteller brings stars into focus. The birds. The water. The trees. The leaves. DyAnne is immersed in the world she shares—and her poems are an invitation to visit that world… That lush, sacred, clear as a bell, mysterious, beautiful world.
            Helen Decker, Poet
 
DyAnne’s writing flows from one page to another in the same steady way a bear ambles across a meadow. And it comes alive—her words breathe on paper.

DyAnne Korda is one of the best, most inventive poets in the Midwest whose work reflects constant growth—always the earmark of a true artist.  Her concern, the challenge of engaging art and the environment, is both a real yet spiritual pursuit which will inevitably lead to greater art and knowledge for the good of all.

I allowed myself time to savor a small set of poems daily at quiet times. I felt at peace…DyAnne's work will be shared and it has a home near my books by Terry Tempest Williams, Linda Hogan and other women nature writers.
