"Heading west now, down Highway 90 as the late-afternoon sun settles itself above a shimmering highway of mirrors that confounds the westward-leaning eye; a gleaming mirage of almost-water spread out upon a distant roadway of glass..."
Birds Do Sing, is a meaningful addition to the literary world of philosophical arts and letters. It's a quiet, captivating story about a personal quest for enlightenment, transcendence, and redemption spanning dozens of years; with much of the character-driven action occurring within the witnessing speaker’s mind as the eccentric narrative rambles across the State of Texas and parts of the American Southwest like a combined metaphysical field guide and travelogue. Its primary concerns are essentially Christo-Manichean, expressed hauntingly and compellingly in eloquent detail by a devoted eyewitness and expert wordsmith. It is at times shocking, sad, and deeply contemplative. It can also be amusing - or even flatly, if darkly, hilarious. The modest yet provocative narrative is difficult to encapsulate fully, but along the way we encounter, in part, the world’s most self-sufficient vagrant, the private activities of a smalltown feral tomcat, and an intoxicated Chicken Farmer caught in a prolonged headrush - Not to mention the Rabbit in the Moon…
It's also about birds.
