Each chapter includes detailed analyses of individual poems, as well as broader discussions of the cultural and literary contexts in which the birds appear. Throughout the book, Martin draws on his extensive knowledge of both Latin literature and ornithology to provide readers with a deep and nuanced understanding of the ways in which birds were used as symbols, metaphors, and sources of inspiration by ancient poets.
