Based in Nottingham in the UK, we’ve been making our mini-anthologies since 2008 and have now sold over 915,000 titles – which means that we’ve shared over nine million poems with our readers all over the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is probably more poetry about birds than about any other insect or animal, as if there’s something in the nature of a bird that makes it particularly suited to the small and intense space that is a poem. This delightful anthology is a second edition of one of our most popular titles and includes some beautiful new poems. It opens up a captivating world that exists in parallel to our own and will be relished by birders and poetry lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ten selections are little miracles in themselves, capturing the quirks of habit or appearance that distinguish one species from another. Never anthropomorphic, they imagine what the vivid life of a bird must be, or tease out what it is that thrills or moves us when we’re surprised by a bird as we hurry about our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKathleen Jamie\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe wheeling flight of swallows captures a life lived in brightness and freedom, while for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKatrina Porteous\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea skylark is:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“…all the music the heart needs,\u003cbr\u003eFull of its sudden fall, silent fields.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem class=\"is-italic\"\u003efrom ‘Skylark’ by Katrina Porteous\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur pamphlets are supplied with an envelope for posting, a bookmark for a special message and an ‘Instead of a card’ sticker to seal the back of the envelope for a lovely finishing touch.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePaperback | 20 printed pages\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Candlestick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47213185007848,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/ten-poems-about-birds-poetry-pamphlet-front-cover-550x837.jpg?v=1743878761","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.live\/products\/ten-poems-about-birds","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
