Indeterminate Rout: Birds--Real and Otherwise

Birds…everywhere present in our lives…often overlooked…sometimes studied for their own sakes. They are a long-lived subgroup, extending from the times of the dinosaurs to the present day. They present themselves in extremes of coloration and habitats, in endearing habits and unappealing situations. In well over a hundred pages of verse—ranging from serious and formal to light-hearted and casual—Michael R. Collings provides glimpses into the secret…and not-so-secret…lives of avians as they intersect ours. Michael R. Collings is the World Horror Conventions 2016 Grand Master (but relax, there is little of horror in these poems); a multiple-Bram Stoker Award® nominee for poetry by the Horror Writers Association, and author of over two dozen collections of verse, ranging from Matrix: Autobiographical Poems, to The State of the disUnion, to Many Waters: Poems of the Ordinary and the Outré.
