The passerines are among the most diverse of terrestrial vertebrates, and in his book-length canticle-both aria and elegy-the poet sings like a modern-day St. Francis to the wonder of creation in its splendor and peril.

Grief faces all of us in the end. This collection explores how poets have expressed and attempted to come to some kind of understanding of this universal but often under-discussed emotion.   M. Wynn Thomas explores how each poet gives full, unbridled expression of their pain, before moving towards a resolution that places the experience of grief in a consolingly meaningful context.  Covering subjects from the loss of a loved one to the death of a language, from the medieval period to the present day, this powerful collection sheds light on the pain of loss and the search for meaning and even hope in it. To those of us walking through grief and loss, these poems offer a guiding hand.

Love is experienced in the deepest ways, and through the exploration of the soul, life can be breathed into the hearts and minds of others. As one heart slumbers, the other is awake and aware of the enormous sensation and satisfaction of realizing that a soul mate exists. It isn't through mere words, but through the essence of being that is presented through the words that the poetry conveys this notion. As a book that challenges and pushed beyond the boundaries of how love can be expressed, this book holds the existence of souls exposed. It is beautifully raw and exists for the purpose of bringing depth to a depthless world, and feelings that exist but are hard to recognize.
