Moving between the epic--war, history, art, myth, philosophy--and the specific--CNN, Ancient Rome, Auden, Merleau-Ponty--Macdonald examines with humor and intellect what it means to be awake and watchful in the world. These are poems that probe and question, within whose nimble ecosystems we are as likely to encounter Schubert as we are \"a hand of violets,\" Isaac Newton as a \"winged quail on turf.\" Nothing escapes Macdonald's eye and every creature herein--from the smallest bird to the loftiest thinker--holds a significant place in her poems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an unparalleled collection from one of greatest nature writers, and a poet of dazzling music and vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802126316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802126313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Helen MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992435392767,"sku":"9780802126313","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aadc3c57-776f-4bea-83f0-0f7dbe50e17b.jpg?v=1683318941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shalers-fish-helen-macdonald-9780802126313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
