Bird Book

'bird book' is written in collaboration with a field guide to North American birds. Each page both borrows and departs from language found in an individual bird entry. The resulting text is an investigation into dissolved and dissolving narrative into the permeable boundaries between human and natural and into the partial and shifting nature of narrative and memory themselves wet and traveling maps. Here as in bird song gap and repetition create their own story. To welcome accidental field to take the songbird out of your mouth to examine the ever-shifting relationship between what we receive and what we project is to move through a porous and shared space affecting and affected where yellow spectacle hovers over a suggested house: exuberant ground.
