'A literary jewel box ... [Maclear's] tiny gems of thought are borne of purposeful waiting, quietude and reflection ... Maclear's book is appealing in its appreciation of non-human nature in the midst of city life, agnosticism about the place of human activity in the midst of nature's rhythms and exploration of the relationship between captivity and freedom' Publishers Weekly
'A meditation on freedom and confinement and the creative tension between the two. ... The simple precision of Maclear's prose belies the depth, as if the book were the tip of the iceberg and what she has elided or omitted constitutes the rest. Writers and others will find inspiration in the advice to stop and hear the birds' Kirkus Reviews
'Intricate and delicate as birdsong, Kyo Maclear's clear-eyed observations of the natural world and our place in it challenge the velocity of modern life. A year spent birding is a year spent in passionate introspection. As she discovers beauty in urban cityscape, she leads us to turn fresh eyes to our surroundings. Her beloved birds become messengers of both loss and hope' Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way
'A beautifully crafted memoir that elevates the ordinary with intelligence and humility' Leslie Feist, musician
'Maclear's writing is fresh and focused. If you've ever felt any of the emotions she discusses - worry for one's parents, feeling stuck, feeling insignificant, feeling lost - there will be a passage in this book that will resonate' Emerald Street
