Synopsis

WINGMAKERS combines Britny Cordera's lyric and prose poems with David Burton's illustrations to create an imaginative world of animal lore. Through the eyes of the muse, Urania, and the creatures of the air embodied within the constellations-dove, owl, dragon, thunderbird, phoenix, and others-each poem relates stories and invokes the wisdom of our mythological pasts. The animals in Cordera's constellations share the wonders, frailties, and concerns of humans, as in the title poem "... Unhurried / wings understand; waiting is letting / world's lost answers come to you." The final section of the book contains narrative accompaniments and conversational explorations of the key elements of the myths, with examples of how they connect throughout cultures: Ancient Greece, Greco-Roman, Norse, Ukrainian, North American Indian, Aztec, Vedic, and others. "Grus the Crane-In Asian myth and art, you stand as a symbol of the one who has passed the test of time. Forever, you have been the ferry of souls as they ride on your back to the heavens." This enchanting book of poetry, poetic prose, and art invites readers to view the constellations and our human life from new perspectives.
