"A writer's search for inspiration, beauty, and solace leads her to birds in this intimate and exuberant meditation on creativity and life"--
Reviews with the most likes.
A memoir, not really about birds or art per se, but how the study and observation of small things can enrich your life. Exactly the kind of calm book I felt like reading right now.
Exploring the nature of art, creativity and paying better attention to the world around you without expectation. It is about the perverse audacity of aiming tiny and giving yourself permission to be creative.
This is and isn't a woo-woo self-help book in the same way it is and it isn't an autobiography about the time immediately following the time her father suffered two strokes. It's a meandering, playful, chat with a curious mind.
It's Anne Lamont meets Cheryl Strayed with a distinctly Canadian sense of restraint. And it's just the sort of reassurance that any creative needs once in awhile.
