Louder BirdsAuthor(s): Angela Voras-Hills\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Louisiana State University Press, United States\nImprint: Louisiana State University Press\nISBN-13: 9780807172995, 978-0807172995\nSynopsis\nAngela Voras?-Hills's Louder Birds, her debut collection of poetry, is a beautiful study of the natural world, motherhood, and the inherent desire for meaning. This collection of complex lyric poems holds a haunting absence at its center, an absence that is \""\""impossible to navigate.\""\"" Yet Voras-?Hills presses on, untangling the distinctions that surround her (human and animal, domestic and wild) with both bravery and respect. She writes, \""\""The boundaries between home and the road / are insecure: it's impossible to navigate this landscape. / We've all been in the presence of something dark / and have chosen not to seek shelter.\""\"" As the poet hones in on naming the void, her surroundings grow more threatening- but not once does she surrender or turn back. Voras-?Hill.
