Bird by Edith Azam (7 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The twenty-seven untitled poems in Bird me turn upon four recurring symbols, timeless images akin to those found in a dream state: pebbles, a river, a chestnut tree, and a bird. This final image, the most central to the collection, is one which haunts and inspires the poetic voice. This voice may or may not be Azam herself, or else a hybrid, lyrical I, as unfixed as the haunting bird of the collections title. This bird, referred to as Hannah, is addressed in each poem. The eponymous palindrome takes on different roles and guises: there are moments in which Hannah is celebrated as muse, love object, mediator between the poet body and the natural world; at other times, she is an all-consuming force, deadly and destructive to a point where the poetic voice is afraid even to say her name out loud. The 27 untitled poems in Bird me turn upon four recurring symbols, timeless images akin to those found in a dream state: pebbles, a river, a chestnut tree, and a bird. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
