Jami Macarty –
LIFE LIST is part field guide of the natural and avian worlds, part love letter to the enterprise and education of birdwatching, and part meditative observance of life’s passage of time and people. Anne Higgins’ LIFE LIST could just as easy be titled LOVE LIST–for who is the birdwatcher, but one who is devoted to the power of observation, seeing, and memory. These poems honor sight as a connector to nature and among beings. Anne Higgins is a wonderful guide and poet!
