Description

Gwyneth Lewis's Sparrow Tree presents birds as mouthpieces for inhuman song and the wild inside the mind. This inventive collection explores the relationship between nature, language, and the human experience, moving from the proto-language of birdsong to the decorative beauty of birds themselves. The book features a diverse range of bird species, including both British and American varieties, and includes previously commissioned work such as "How to Knit a Poem". Lewis's unique approach to poetry combines elements of fantasy and reality, resulting in a collection that is both imaginative and thought-provoking. Ultimately, Sparrow Tree concludes with images of the human word as a form of love, highlighting the power of language to connect us with others and with the natural world.
