Birds to Bones

Birds to Bones takes essays, art, and poetry and turns them into a cosmological dance. Story is truth, the truth is story, it says, and we are all creatures born of earth, reaching for the sky, attempting to transform. Magic is the cycle of birth, death, hope and some of the most urgent questions of the quest toward holiness are: where are your temples? And who do you let in? Birds to Bones is story-which is to say truth-steeped in dirt and starlight. Water, air, earth, fire all, all being woven together with words. Meaning isn't something that's opaque and unknowable: it's something that's made, one bit of matter, one spoken word at a time. -Kerry Spencer Pray, editor of I Spoke to You with Silence
