Bird Skin Coat is brimming with startling moments of beauty found
within a rusty and decayed landscape. With wild lyrical images of
ascent and descent - doves and dives, sparrows and slugs, attics
and cellars - this collection reflects Sorby's keen eye for
blending images. As they shuttle between the Upper Midwest and the
Pacific Northwest, these poems explore how the radical instability
of the world is also the source of its energy. The woman he hit is
still 42. She notes with wonder how her parka fits her perfectly
the way a dove's skin holds the whole bird together. 'Fate is not a
thing with feathers, it's old, bald, and blind, a pope who can't
decipher the man's name, David Pratt, as he scrawls it on scratch
paper' - excerpt from ""Bird Skin Coat"" [copyright]. The Board of
