Slovenly Love by Méira Cook - A Year of Birds 4 (Brick Books) - Brick Books Poetry Map (sitios de interés)

Meira was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. Toward a Catalogue of Falling, Méira Cook's second full-length book, proves that the fall into language can be both graceful and startling.

Whether she is rewriting Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid; (as she does in her poem sequence "Days of Water"), thinking of Breughel's/Williams'/ Auden's Icarus, reading oranges, or offering advice for catching crows, Cook's words are luminous.
