We only get one shot at this. Save what you can.

In Birds of America, award-winning poet Chera Hammons reckons with the intersection of personal violence and the violence humans have wrought upon our planet and explores the beauty that remains among the ruins. With graceful lyricism, she translates seemingly mundane scenes from the natural world—two eagles locked together in a tandem dive, the fresh sweetness of wild onions—into exquisite revelations of human feeling, inviting us to glimpse the hidden magic of the everyday. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor anyone who struggles to remain grounded when it feels like the world is falling apart, each poem in Birds of America offers a meditative lens with which to view the fraught relationships we have with the living beings around us, which come to life through exquisite artwork by acclaimed illustrator Sophie Lucido Johnson. Hammons encourages us to love fiercely, to embrace a future where our damage teaches us to be kinder people, and to never give up on the beauty of our world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"#alsoinseries\" id=\"alsoinseries\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-by-author\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"#alsobyauthor\" id=\"alsobyauthor\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"#alsoinseries\" id=\"alsoinseries\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-by-author\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-author-spotlights\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"#author\" id=\"author\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-second-product-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"desktop-praise\" data-return-id=\"mobile-praise\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"#praise\" id=\"praise\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-praise seemoreenable\" id=\"seemore-2\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48350683234457,"sku":"3346","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4273\/6025\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-22102923.png?v=1784737797","url":"https:\/\/shop.wildlifeart.org\/products\/birds-of-america","provider":"National Museum of Wildlife Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
