<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Kate McCarroll Moore thought she was writing about birds. It turns out she was actually writing about her father.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It always comes back to this. A writer sets out to tell one story, and only when its finished, discovers it's another story entirely. Such is this collection of bird poems written by Kate McCarroll Moore. The poems collected here are stitched together with tenderness, regret, grief, and hope, telling the story of a father-daughter relationship expressed through a shared love of birds.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Kate Moore's <em>Avians of Mourning</em> is one of the most beautifully thought out and complete elegies I have ever read. Her vision finds the connection between the fine details and the impact that loss and grief have on the whole, resulting in a tribute that is every bit as much celebration as grieving."</p><p><strong>--Paul Corman Roberts</strong>, author of <em>We Shoot Typewriters</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>"<em>Avians of Mourning</em> by Kate McCarroll Moore holds a daughter's love in careful hands. Richly layered with strong, gentle images, from a father's song to a little brown wren, from a found penny to a green sea, each line lights a candle in your heart. Kate's poems gracefully fly from each page, honoring and haunting in equal measure."</p><p><strong>--Amy Ludwig VanDerwater</strong>, author of <em>Every Day Birds</em> and <em>Poems Are Teachers</em></p><p> </p><br>
