Birds Art Life

In Birds Art Life, celebrated author Kyo Maclear finds herself unmoored, lost in responsibilities to her ailing father, her children, and her work. Seeking inspiration, she embarks upon a yearlong, big city adventure chasing after birds, and finds that the core lessons of birding take on surprising relevance when applied to aspects of art and life. This memoir is a distilled, crystal-like celebration of the small and significant, the imperfect and struggling, and the liberating effects of keeping your eyes and ears wide open.
