I've never seen a bird that hasn't made me want to live. When the first humans were born of clay, what bird did they become? Some of the most beloved origin stories are rooted in the realm of clay and birds. What Bird Are You? is a murmuration of bird song mapping Ohlone lands of the Pajaro Valley, famous birds of New York's Central and Prospect Parks, the Acoma Reservation, and daily life in Colorado's first Bird City through the ancient and modern arts of pottery and birdwatching. This collection of essays and poems explores what it means to live as a writer caught between the world of potters and the world of birds. Through mythology, memory, late-capitalism, and history this collection sculpts a poet's life out of a lump of clay and feathers.
