Poetry Friday Roundup is hosted today by The Poem Farm.
My selection is "Winds on the Wind: bird poems" collected and illustrated by Kate Kiesler, an artist living in Colorado, who shares her fascination with birds.
Kiesler has gathered over twenty poems by many well-known poets in this beautifully illustrated anthology. Verses by Carl Sandburg, Edward Lear, Robert Louis Stevenson, Margaret Wise Brown grace pages illuminated with landscapes and close-ups of birds engaged in a variety of avian activities from flight to nesting. Red-winged blackbirds, wild geese, woodpeckers, barn swallows, a pet parakeet, even a pirate's parrot are sources of inspiration and delight.

This looks like a beautiful book, one my bird-loving hubby would really enjoy too! Thank you for sharing it! A.
Looks like one I'll definitely have to check out! Thanks for the heads-up about it.
