Of a Feather - 9781835433041

The story is told through a series of beautiful and playful poems that describe the journey of a cardinal flying to a calm garden. From the happy splashing in the birdbath to the playful interactions with other animals, every poem captures the cardinal's liveliness. The narrator, who sits in his chair with a pipe and a window to watch the world go by, narrates the cardinal's flights and capers with affection and reflection. In different seasons and weather, from scorching summer to light rain, the cardinal becomes the protagonist, the symbol of the struggle and freedom. Its presence after a brief absence is welcomed with relief and happiness while its absence is associated with anxiety. The cardinal's encounters with a curious cat also introduce an element of humor, which is a part of nature's grand scheme. These verses give the poems the themes of friendship, desire, and the cycle of nature. In each stanza, the poet conveys the conflict between human interference and the cardinal's free-spiritedness while leaving the reader with a sense of unity and interdependence in the garden's dynamic environment.
