Where Calling Birds Gather

Where Calling Birds Gather is a poetic journey spanning continents. From the Canadian Prairies we are whisked away to Australia and Ethiopia in search of exotic birds. Like the migration patterns of the narrator’s quarry, the poems criss-cross and overlap; they are pulled across the land as they search for new tastes, smells, lives and loves. And as hyenas cackle in the night and the cassowaries peck at the side of the road, the memory of the open prairie calls. When the readers finally “tack” for home they only have to wait until the next migration.
