review 1: A beautiful book, the kind one is more likely to keep on a shelf and take out to read an occasional poem from time to time. It is filled with beautiful prints and carefully reviewed poems. The editor, Billy Collins would do no less. He includes just one poem of his own. The downside of this book is that the poems are probably not the best work of most of the authors but rather good, well edited poems that represent the authors well and fit the purpose of the book.
review 2: Ahh. . .sat on the porch on sunny fall afternoons overlooking the Lake and read aloud to myself.Just a LOVELY book. The illustrations are exquisite. A brief info paragraph of the habitat and any unusual habits of the bird is just the right amount. The poems compiled are fitting and most are ... moreeasy on the mind. Not obscure or difficult to read/comprehend. I'm not one who reads a great deal of poetry, but the subject matter, the variety of birds and the info on each made this a charming change of pace. less
