Birds Flew In

Poetry That Moves Like Music and Stays With You

Birds Flew In by Roderick Deacey is a contemporary poetry collection that blends the improvisational spirit of jazz with the reflective depth of modern literary poetry.

Influenced by the Beat Generation, Deacey's work captures fleeting moments-what he calls "sendings"-that connect everyday life to something larger. These poems are meant to be read, heard, and felt.
