Description
Son of a Bird is a memoir in the tradition of Dorothy Allison and Flannery O'Connor. Surrounded by farm hands and wild, lush isolation due to constant eye surgeries, the youngest of six children, Nin Andrews observes the world at a tilt. In this collection of prose poems, haunted by death and the brutalities of farm life, Andrews begins to connect the small black dots of her upbringing - her father's relationships with men, her mother's autism, and the burdens of childhood awakenings - ultimately cracking through the shadows that haunt her.
