{"product_id":"birds-art-life-kyo-maclear-9781501154201","title":"Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation","description":"\u003cb\u003eA writer's search for inspiration, beauty, and solace leads her to birds in this intimate and exuberant meditation on creativity and life--a field guide to things small and significant.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen it comes to birds, Kyo Maclear isn't seeking the exotic. Rather she discovers joy in the seasonal birds that find their way into view in city parks and harbors, along eaves and on wires. In a world that values big and fast, Maclear looks to the small, the steady, the slow accumulations of knowledge, and the lulls that leave room for contemplation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA distilled, crystal-like companion to \u003ci\u003eH is for Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBirds Art Life\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the particular madness of chasing after birds in the urban environment and explores what happens when the core lessons of birding are applied to other aspects of art and life. Moving with ease between the granular and the grand, peering into the inner landscape as much as the outer one, this is a deeply personal year-long inquiry into big themes: love, waiting, regrets, endings. If \u003ci\u003eBirds Art Life\u003c\/i\u003e was sprung from Maclear's sense of disconnection, her passions faltering under the strain of daily existence, this book is ultimately about the value of reconnection--and how the act of seeking engagement and beauty in small ways can lead us to discover our most satisfying and meaningful lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyo Maclear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501154206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501154201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/31\/2016","brand":"Kyo Maclear","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044319752447,"sku":"9781501154201","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c448367-dbc6-4b2e-b534-9254bb18a4bf.jpg?v=1684972162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birds-art-life-kyo-maclear-9781501154201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
