Birdgirl Handbook
by Amy Newman
Amy
Newman shows us a world within the contours of a whitewashed yard, its
ivy and grackles and wounded fawns. The natural world as it exists calls
to us, intelligence is a tactile landscape we wander with this girl who
is both bird and wish, who is the longing for and the power of flight
in each of us. In this beautiful little book, thought becomes life and
voice becomes body, full of the sound of birds even when the birds are
gone.
—Reginald Shepherd
This beautiful, hand-tied, 32-page chapbook was published in a limited edition in 2006.
