Ornithology by Robyn Schelenz

“Ornithology is, from start to finish, a feathered zoo. A winged beast. From doves to starlings, pheasants to pigeons, juncos to turkeys, reading this collection feels like stepping into a fluttering sanctuary. It’s touching, it’s tender, it’s thoughtful, and, yes, it’s quite strange. I wouldn’t prefer it any other way. After all, ‘The sky is a blue onion / on a salad / these birds ordered.’”

— Benjamin Niespodziany, Author of Cardboard Clouds and Founder of Piżama Press
