"Not quite hard to decipher... on the contrary, friendly and familiar sounding, "An Alphabet of Birds" is a prose collection inspired by "daily nature," by those kerchiefs of landscape gracing us through a kitchen door, a car window, in the middle of our urban, busy life. They are glimpses and fragments, fugitive and yet poignant, loaded with surprise, magic, lessons to learn or else mysteries for the heart to treasure in secret, in awe." ~ Toti O'Brien, author
