In her debut collection, Heaven Fay has created the ballet of Lyra and the Thrush. Through the quaint story of a bird and the girl who saves her–a story of an impossible love–she has composed imaginative, intricately woven movements that reveal the quiet lives of ordinary things. Lyrical and narrative, this Sapphic poetry sets the simplicities of the earth–a bow and arrow, a clothesline, a gooseberry pie–to music, gives them a voice (at times haunting in what it speaks), and releases them pirouetting onto the page. Like an old story found again, the poems in this collection are familiar, nostalgic; comforting remembrances. Heaven Fay is sure to charm readers with this original and gorgeously wistful ballet in poems.
