The Ghosts of Birds by Kristina Marie Darling

$14.99


“Interspersed with Giordano’s haunting visuals of bird bones, Darling’s writing attempts to “reassemble the ghost” of a narrative in intricate fragments, both delicate and sharp–a ship made of bones,letters that never reach their destination, 
 their sense of both vastness and suffocation,   A short but wrought series of pieces, the The Ghosts of Birds is heavy with both desolation and desire.”
