129 poems each describe a different bird using a different verse form. White space, elegant type, a china-blue ink and cream paper create a delicate feel. Despite its visual ease apt for a poetry volume, the book also packs a lot of information, akin to a birdwatching guide. However, because of the typography, marginal placement, and pen-and-ink illustrations (as opposed to more readily available photography), the information does not distract from the poetry.
