Photographs by
Jason Stemple.
Each of fourteen spreads features a poem about a bird species, facts about the species, and a perfectly matched photograph expertly set against a complementary background, granting each creature a unique personality. The poems are varied and skillfully done, sometimes bending form and other times following it closely. A foreword by an ornithologist is included.
