of interior crisis and unhappiness, restlessness and desire, Hughes' "Crow" is a powerful conduit to lead you to look at yourself fearlessly. If you trust that in order to reach a place of inner gratitude and salvation you must first face your "ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets," then "Crow" is devastatingly tailor-made to define and even to inspire great sacrifice and great love.
