The award-winning poet Michael Collier's elegiac fifth collection
is haunted by spectral figures and a strange, vivid chorus of
birds: From a cardinal that crashes into a window to a gathering of
turkey vultures, Collier engages birds as myth-makers and lively
messengers, carrying memories from lost friends. The mystery of
death and the vital absence it creates are the real subjects of the
book. Collier juxtaposes moments of quotidian revelation, like
waking to the laughing sounds of bird song, with the drama of Greek
tragedy, taking on voices from Medea. As Vanity Fair praised, his
poems "tread nimbly between moments of everyday transcendence and
spiritual pining."
