Departing on flights of avian fancy or fantasy on several levels, Sparrow Tree moves from considering birdsong as proto-language to examining birds as decorative beings. ""Speaking on her love of birds and spinning it into something unique, Sparrow Tree speaks profoundly.""-The Midwest Book Review Sept. 2011

About the Author:
Gwyneth Lewis was Wales's National Poet from 2005 to 2006, the first writer to be given the Welsh laureateship. Her first six books of poetry in Welsh and English were followed by Chaotic Angels (2005) from Bloodaxe, which brings together the poems from her English collections, Parables & Faxes, Zero Gravity and Keeping Mum, and by A Hospital Odyssey (2010), with The Sparrow Tree due in 2011. She also has published two non-fiction titles, Sunbathing in the Rain: A Cheerful Book about Depression (Flamingo, 2002) and Two in a Boat: A Marital Voyage (Fourth Estate, 2005). Her last Welsh collection, Y Llofrudd Iaith (Barddas, 2000), won the Welsh Arts Council Book of the Year Prize, and her last English collection, Keeping Mum was shortlisted for the same prize. Both Zero Gravity and Keeping Mum were Poetry Book Society Recommendations. Gwyneth Lewis composed the words on the front of the new Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, opened in 2004. She lives in Cardiff.
Review:
'One of the most exhilaratingly gifted poets of her generation' - M. Wynn Thomas, Guardian. 'Such exuberant invention - The range of reference is so wide, we are intoxicated by it' - Elaine Feinstein, --Independent

Speaking on her love of birds and spinning it into something unique, Sparrow Tree speaks profoundly. --The Midwest Book Review
