An acclaimed journalist seeks to understand the mysterious allure
of peacocks-and in the process discovers unexpected and valuable
life lessons. 2022 Carnegie Medal for Excellence Longlist Selection
When Sean Flynn's neighbor in North Carolina texted "Any chance you
guys want a peacock? No kidding!" he stared bewilderedly at his
phone. He had never considered whether he wanted a peacock. But as
an award-winning magazine writer, this kind of mystery intrigued
him. So he, his wife, and their two young sons became the owners of
not one but three charming yet fickle birds: Carl, Ethel, and Mr.
Pickle. In Why Peacocks?, Flynn chronicles his hilarious and
heartwarming first year as a peacock owner, from struggling to
build a pen to assisting the local bird doctor in surgery to
triumphantly watching a peahen lay her first egg. He also examines
the history of peacocks, from their appearance in the Garden of
Eden to their befuddling Charles Darwin to their bewitching the
likes of Flannery O'Connor and Martha Stewart. And fueled by a
reporter's curiosity, he travels across the globe to learn more
about the birds firsthand, with stops including a Scottish castle
where peacocks have resided for centuries, a southern California
community tormented by a serial killer of peacocks, and a Kansas
City airport hotel hosting an annual gathering of true peafowl
aficionados. At turns comically absurd and deeply poignant, Why
Peacocks? blends lively, insightful memoir and illuminating science
journalism to answer the title's question. More than that, it
offers surprising lessons about love, grief, fatherhood, and
family.

With a nervous "creak" and a daring "splash" and anything "but" a
dying momentum, troubled poet Sean Flynn steps into the open with
the release of his first book, "Showerhead Eyes: A year's
compilation of poems." "Showerhead Eyes" explores themes both
familiar and profound that will leave you stormy, hopeful, and
reflective.
As the first Lakota to serve in the United States Congress,
Benjamin ('Ben') Reifel (1906-1990) made a career of straddling two
distinct cultures. A bilingual member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of
South Dakota, Reifel often found his ideas challenged by American
Indian activists. He advocated for his people to become
self-reliant citizens, not by abandoning traditional values, but
through education and integration. In the end, Reifel viewed
himself as a modern Indian leader, versed in his native tongue and
culture, college educated, and looking beyond reservation
boundaries. Throughout his earlier career with the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and in Congress during the 1960s, Reifel worked to bring
economic success to the reservations and to South Dakota as a
whole, dividing his time between agriculture policy and Indian
affairs. A moderate-conservative Republican, he quickly rose to
prominence on the House Appropriations Committee and, with Senator
Karl E. Mundt, is responsible for the placement of the United
States Geological Survey's Earth Resources Observation Systems
(eros) Data Center near the city of Sioux Falls. In this premier
biography of Reifel, Sean J. Flynn offers an alternative to
depictions of American Indians as victims of eighteenth- and
nineteenth century conquest. Contributing to a long-neglected topic
in American Indian studies - the lives of twentieth-century
American Indians - Flynn showcases the life of a man who prospered
in the American mainstream without forsaking his racial identity.
