Molten iron. Black leather. Ravens on the wire. Tiny warriors beneath a painting lamp. A body repaired more than once, and a life rebuilt the same way.
Iron, Leather & Ravens - Volume I is a collection of 38 free-verse poems moving through foundry work, recovery, desire, craft, injury, dark humor, solitude, and the stubborn habit of returning to what still matters.
James P. Buckley writes from the border between heat and quiet: Autopour maintenance after production, crows waiting for peanuts, a butcher block that outlasted decades, miniatures painted one millimeter at a time, leather shaped by pressure and trust, and the hard-earned knowledge that not everything broken needs to be restored to its original shape.
Some poems are blunt. Some are dark. Some are funny enough to hurt. Together they form a record of work, scars, making, memory, and becoming.
This is not a chronology.
It is a record of what stayed.
