Written to be spoken aloud by two voices, sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneous, these poems perfectly capture the beauty of birds in their singing, soaring, and rejoicing.
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly During a short career, Fleischman has received rave reviews and awards for his distinctive stories, radically different from each other. Here the author gives way to the poet, his alter ego, composing works that are arranged as duets but can also be relished by one alone, reading or reciting the lines as paeans to birds of various feathers. From dawn to dusk, Fleishchman keeps his ears attuned to the music and messages in the calling of finches, wax wings, condors, sparrows, the passenger pigeon (lamenting over its kin, murdered by the millions), finally the owl who owns the night. The doves of Dodono in Greece sing about people who beseech the goddess for answers; the wandering albatross thinks about shipwrecks, mariners swept into the ocean beneath the bird's wings. There are many other wonders to experience in the echoic, inspiring poetry. Nutt's splendid drawings complement and enhance the words in a singular book. Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information, In

Inconsistencies in formatting - "origin" is usually included at the start of entries, but sometimes it isn't. At that, it succeeds. As I was approaching the subject matter with some fairly extensive previous knowledge, I worked through the in-chapter "projects" as I read, but only reviewed the end-of-chapter exercises.
The book is organized into 3 main sections:
