XVI by Julia Karr
Poetry. FEDING WILD BIRDS is a collection of poems rooted in the Michigan landscape, as seasons and lives undergo their seamless and subtle transformations. These are meditative poems in spare and simple language that examine the energies in animals, woods, lakes, land, weather and the human heart. In the silences and sounds of nature, the poems speak of the spirit that hovers just beyond the realm of our ideas, that whispers to us in stillness and that lights the paths of our awakening to the beauty of the world.Like the Buddhist and Taoist sages whom he admires, Haight places human life within the great realities--seasons, weathers, the cycles of birth and death, the host of living things--and he does so with a heart attuned to wildness. These are poems without an expiration date, as fresh and clear as moonlight or the morning dew.--Scott Russell Sanders
The beautiful poems in FEDING WILD BIRDS immerse me in a landscape that both awakens and instructs. Robert Haight has a way of seeing the faint blow of mystery, the world both real and transparent as soap bubbles. Everything is turning: leaves, seasons, parents' lives. The turning is elegiac, but sparked with immediacy. This is a book that will wash your senses clean.--Fleda Brown
In FEDING WILD BIRDS, Robert Haight seamlessly blends the observing eye of a field biologist with the aslant vision Emily Dickinson said a poet must have. He sees the truth with a freshness and depth, which, if we are awake to it, intensifies our vision of the ordinary and recasts it in a remarkable new light.--Dan Gerber
