There is probably more poetry about birds than about any other insect or animal, as if thereās something in the nature of a bird that makes it particularly suited to the small and intense space that is a poem. This delightful anthology is a second edition of one of our most popular titles and includes some beautiful new poems. It opens up a captivating world that exists in parallel to our own and will be relished by birders and poetry lovers alike.
The ten selections are little miracles in themselves, capturing the quirks of habit or appearance that distinguish one species from another. Never anthropomorphic, they imagine what the vivid life of a bird must be, or tease out what it is that thrills or moves us when weāre surprised by a bird as we hurry about our lives.

Full of its sudden fall, silent fields.āfrom āSkylarkā by Katrina Porteous
