One of America's most acclaimed younger poets entwines original and scavenged texts, lyric fragment and lyric song, to make a new form--this book--from wild metaphor. A passerine is a bird of the taxonomic order Passeriformes, often called "songbirds" or "perching birds." The passerines are among the most diverse of terrestrial vertebrates, and in his book-length canticle--both aria and elegy--the poet sings like a modern-day St. Francis to the wonder of creation in its splendor and peril.
