Produktbeschreibung
With help from American naturalist and essayist John Burroughs, "Birds and Poets" is a set of essays. Burroughs writes approximately his love of birds and his mind on poetry and the innovative spirit. He is known for his keen perspectives of nature and the outside. In this series, Burroughs seems at how birds and literary suggestion are linked. He talks approximately the beauty and value of hen song and how the world of birds can encourage poets. Burroughs makes use of stunning language to make human beings enjoy the complicated melodies and behaviors of different forms of chickens. He does this through drawing comparisons among their herbal expressions and poets' creative mind. "Birds and Poets" writings are just like Burroughs' transcendentalist thoughts in that they stress the non-secular hyperlink between people and the natural international. He writes approximately how nature can heal and inspire, and he makes use of birds as examples of splendor and as literary idea. Burroughs' writing style is both helpful and considerate. It makes readers take a look at the sector via the eyes of a naturalist and discover thought within the simple beauty of birds.
Autorenporträt
John Burroughs was an American naturalist and nature essayist who lived from April 3, 1837, to March 29, 1921. He was involved in the conservation movement in the US. His first book of essays, Wake-Robin, came out in 1871. His biographer, Edward Renehan, said that Burroughs wasn't really a scientific naturalist. Instead, he was "a literary naturalist with a duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world." The result was a body of work that fit perfectly with the mood of its time, which is why it was so famous at the time and not so well known since then. Burroughs was the seventh child of Chauncy Burroughs and Amy Kelly. He was born in Delaware County, New York, on the family farm in the Catskill Mountains, close to Roxbury. As a child, he spent a lot of time on the slopes of Old Clump Mountain, where he could see the higher peaks of the Catskills, especially Slide Mountain, which he would write about later. He worked hard on the family farm and was amazed by the birds that came back every spring and the other animals that lived near the farm, like frogs and bumblebees.
