Award-winning actress Lili Taylor knows birds now, but it wasn't always this way. During a much-needed break from her work as an actor, Taylor sought silence and instead found the bustling, symphonic world of birds that had always existed around her. Through a series of eye-opening essays about searching for peace in the cacophony of birds and discovering a world of meaning in small moments, Taylor shares her intimate encounters with the birds that have captured her heart and imagination. Her lyrical prose and thoughtful meditations invite readers to see the world through new eyes.
