The collection embraces the nature of birds to convey observations on life and mortality. The tone is one of appreciation and acceptance, rather than fear. Ducks pair and glide: \"O for such a shadowing\", dead birds are honored: \"my feather cache\". Birds are held: \"faint body heat through feathers\", released: \"I fly\". Sometimes birds briefly inhabit a poem: \"parting wing beats\", \"reflections that wobble with a swallow swoop\". Sometimes birds fully dominate an incident or narrate a persona poem. The poems utilize a variety forms, word play and music. Wildness in birds and in ourselves is valued for its intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48330598187257,"sku":"9798899902857","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/yvGZbL_YXG9798899902857.webp?v=1777380832","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/wild-familiars-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
