Publisher's Synopsis
Another fine book from Meat For Tea Press.
The collaborative collection Fill Me With Birds lilts and tilts as Scott Ferry and Daniel McGinn call and respond. "When an image keeps coming back to mind / there's no escaping"-they volley images and themes between poems, circling and returning and building. Jesus, family, a father who talks in his sleep, a mother rocking her child in "her milk-wet / arms" weave together on Ferry and McGinn's pages turning us all to "light and strata." You won't want to miss how each word "hums and dances."-Allison Blevins, author of Cataloguing Pain Fill Me With Birds filled me with delight. This fascinating collaboration between Scott Ferry and Daniel McGinn grabbed me from the first page! These two, seasoned poets play off each other, like a poetic game of call and response. They've created poems rich with imagery and juxtaposed with candor, pushing each other to new heights. Much like the birds, they soar. ]
