The Path of Birds: Poets on mode the Rise by Araceli Esparza NEUF

THE PATH OF BIRDS curates a collection of twenty-five new and rising International poets and features the intricate narrative verse of Araceli Esparza. These poets beckon you to emerge tooth and claw-to fly, crest, and ultimately soar. These poems are not mere avian observations but the lyrical voices of daily song. They answer editor Samantha Malays egg question, "Do we all dream of flight in our briny cradles?" Inspired by our kinship to birds, these poems borrow their fledgling journey, meeting each day and its struggles with migrational persistence. With the reading, these poems will crack open and wake you to something new and alive. They honor the journey, the nesting of parent and child, the love of words in artfully feathered hearts. They ask, where cant our words take us if they have wings? Illustrated with beautiful, luscious, full-color artwork by artists Robin Moravec & Joha Bisone, this book is a unique gift for the creative soul.
