The Bird That Swallowed the Music Box : (Ways of Listening)

The short essays in this delightful collection by award-winning author Anita Sullivan gently cycle through three themes: the Natural world, Music, and Poetry. Enormous subjects, indeed, but each essay has been steeped in a base solution and labored over for decades in the author's own interior alchemical laboratory, bringing to the reader a satisfying sense of thematic unity and enduring insight. This lovely book offers a genuinely pleasing and indulgent reading experience.
