Sibley. 113 poems with MI = 12.4. ( ) Slow going. Lovely book, but most of the poems are too difficult for me. I've been reading a few poems a week for a couple of months now - thank goodness my library lets me renew! Still, I'm thinking of buying this for my parents - they're avid birders and readers (though not of poetry, so I'm not sure how much they'd like it - but maybe I could expand their horizons a bit... ). Ahh. . .sat on the porch on sunny fall afternoons overlooking the Lake and read aloud to myself. Just a LOVELY book. The illustrations are exquisite. A brief info paragraph of the habitat and any unusual habits of the bird is just the right amount. The poems compiled are fitting and most are easy on the mind. Not obscure or difficult to read/comprehend. I'm not one who reads a great deal of poetry, but the subject matter, the variety of birds and the info on each made this a charming change of pace. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
From the Publisher: In this beautiful collection of poems and paintings, Billy Collins, former U.S. poet laureate, joins with David Allen Sibley, America's foremost bird illustrator, to celebrate the winged creatures that have inspired so many poets to sing for centuries. From Catullus and Chaucer to Robert Browning and James Wright, poets have long treated birds as powerful metaphors for beauty, escape, transcendence, and divine expression. Here, in this substantial anthology, more than one hundred contemporary and classic poems are paired with close to sixty original, ornithologically precise illustrations. Part poetry collection, part field guide, part art book, Bright Wings presents verbal and visual interpretations of the natural world and reminds us of our intimate connection to the "bright wings" around us. Each in their own way, these poems and pictures honor the enchanting creatures that have been, and continue to be, longtime collaborators with the poet's and painter's art.
