A review by eren_reads
An Aviary of Small Birds by Karen McCarthy Woolf

challenging emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Oh my gosh! Where to start with this poetry collection? When I review poetry I usually pick some of my favourite parts of poems but I am having troubles choosing my favourite ones in this collection. So, I'll just share a few ones I found particularly moving.

Every day I wake up and remember 
your future is missing

- Missing

Death is out hunting tonight,
the moon a torch in his hand.

- BLOOD

Those are just a glimpse of my favourite parts as a lot of the poems where fully highlighted by me. Regardless, this poetry collection is a moving meditation on grief that intertwines the experience of life with the natural world.
