<p><br></p><p>Hopkins' signature lyrical style draws the reader into <em>The Shape of a Tulip Bird</em>. Within its pages he tells the story of a couple who lose a baby to miscarriage and then lose each other in their grief.&nbsp;With simple yet stunning accessibility he takes us on their journey and leaves us hopeful even as we wipe tears away.
