In The Ghost of Every Feathered Thing, Paula J. Lambert presents a study in avian anatomy that rises to a celebration of the sacred. "The world sees itself/ in crisis," says Lambert. "And is wrong. We've only to listen/ to the cracked skull and filthy bones of what was/ once called augury.... Hear me. Listen to the light/ that guides us." From egg tooth to eyelid, from the kestrel's ability to hover to the kite's kleptoparasitism, we learn as much about ourselves as we do of these birds: we learn what it is to survive and what it is to thrive.
