Mary Mercier is a writer inspired by nature, flight, and the barking of crows. For 20 years she served as a college advisor for students in environmental studies, where she became interested in the lives of endangered species, from cranes to wolves to butterflies. Today she divides her time between writing poetry and picture books. Her most recent books include the Birdy Poetry Prize Finalist Five Reports of Fugitive Dust (Meadowlark Press), and her debut picture book, The Butterfly Boat (Clavis Publishing).
