Nature, Gardens & Animals
Birds and Poets : with Other Papers
John Burroughs
220 pages~4 hr 23 min read17 chapters$4.99
John Burroughs believed the poets saw birds truest, and here he tests the claim. Essays braid ornithology with verse: a bird medley of the American woods, the small touches of nature that stir a spring morning, April's return of song. Burroughs writes as a walker who stops often. For readers who love birds and language in the same breath.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
