Ten Poems about Birds
Published on Thursday 27 July 2017
This latest pamphlet is a second edition of one of our most popular anthologies and contains some beautiful new poems, opening up a captivating world that exists in parallel to our own.
The ten selections are little miracles in themselves, capturing the quirks of habit or appearance that distinguish one species from another. Never anthropomorphic, they imagine what the vivid life of a bird must be, or tease out what it is that thrills or moves us when we’re surprised by a bird as we hurry about our lives.
From John Clare’s singing whitethroat to Kathleen Jamie’s wheeling swallows, these are poems to treasure and Cathy King’s stunning cover image makes this pamphlet something to keep for ever. To continue the Candlestick tradition of supporting a range of charities through pamphlet sales, a donation will be made to The Owls Trust.

"By the way I have become almost Evangelical about the pamphlets! Everyone I know has got one. I’m just stopping short of thrusting them on people I don’t know but who look as if they need a poetry break."Liz O’Sullivan, Dovegreyreader Chapter, Candlestick Collective
