I’ve always been enamored of how crows and ravens worked their way into so many mythologies, the Inuit and Tlingit in particular. There, the raven is a creative, trickster force- sort of a combination of Loki and Prometheus. In this piece, I wanted to use that image of the cunning raven juxtaposed with some of my writing to illustrate my own questions about the nature of creativity and inquisitiveness.
