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.
Poet and bird pairings include: Wallace Stevens and the Blackbird; Emily Dickinson and the Robin; Marianne Moore and the Frigate Pelican; Thomas Hardy and the Goldfinch; Sylvia Plath and the Pheasant; John Updike and the Seagull; Walt Whitman and the Eagle; Billy Collins and the Sparrow.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A beautiful anthology." -- Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"An elegant little compilation of poems." -- Des Moines Register
"An intelligent assembly of poems that take us places where prose cannot go... This little book is a reminder that everything important about birds can't be found in guide books or scientific papers." -- Jim Williams, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Part poetry anthology, part field guide, Bright Wings is a delight to carry around." -- Isabel Nathaniel, Dallas Morning News
"What's not to love here?" -- Birder's World
"[Collins & Sibley] have created a veritable jeweled music box... Sure to appeal to birdlovers and poetry fans alike." -- The West Australian
