Ten Poems About Birds
Candlestick Press
The poems in Ten Poems about Birds suggest that there’s something in the nature of a bird that makes it particularly suited to the small and intense space that is a poem. The selections are little miracles in themselves, capturing the quirks of habit or appearance that distinguish one species from another. The poems beautifully imagine the brief and joyful lives of birds, while teasing out what thrills and moves us when we encounter them. A poem, it transpires, can reveal just as much as a pair of binoculars.
With poems by Jean Atkin, Alison Brackenbury, John Clare, Emily Dickinson, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Rebecca Goss, Thomas Hardy, Caleb Parkin, Katrina Porteous and Lynne Wycherley.
