Countless writers have been inspired by the beauty of birds – their colors, easy flight, lightness and softness, and the grace and whimsicality of their ways. This literary treasure is full of them!
Spanning from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, Poems About Birds captures the enticing lives of birds through the eyes of classic poets. From John Keats’ ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ to Sylvia Lynd’s ‘The Return of the Goldfinches’, and from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s ‘The Eagle’ to William Wordsworth’s ‘To The Skylark’, countless varieties of bird are celebrated here. This annotated edition of Poems About Birds selects the very best from H. J. Massingham’s original collection which was first published in 1922.
