Ryler Dustin's Heavy Lead Birdsong is a collection of love poems-an old man plants orchards in his own chest, angels write messages encoded in boxcar graffiti, and a dangerous car ride through the dead of winter takes us to the Ice Age. Inspired by science and religion, grounded in subtle humor, these poems transcend modern political sorrows to celebrate the kind of human spirit that can save us.

Autorenporträt
Ryler Dustin was on his way to becoming a dental hygienist when something amazing happened: he overheard poetry at his local open mic. Within months his work had gained the attention of both slam and academic audiences -- he gained a place on the prestigious Seattle Slam Team, won the Sue C Boynton Award and was invited to headline at the Richard Hugo House. Ryler also won the Bart Baxter Competition while bringing Seattle to the final stage of the Individual World Poetry Slam. He has no plans of pursuing dental hygiene in the future due to his devotion to poetry.
