"A flicker of time, expanded into brilliance ... Then wrapped up so beautifully that readers turn to look out their own windows." "Pulls the reader in to the sights, sounds, textures of the outside world." "Close observation and understanding of nature - especially birds - blends richly with a keen poetic sense." 'In my dreams I am sometimes a bird' presents more than 100 poems by peregrine about birds, bringing together many poems from earlier collections (including twenty-five sonnets) and introducing twenty previously unpublished poems. About this new collection, peregrine says, "Over the course of my life, these two wondrous things have been constant: Words and birds. I cannot remember a time when I was not immersed in words and in the contemplation of their meanings, histories, and uses, just as I cannot remember a time when I was not keenly aware, not only of the variety of birds around me, but of the wonder and delight that they have always inspired in me. Most of these poems are, simply, about the birds: their behavior, their plumage, their songs, their migrations, and my delight in the very fact that birds exist. In many instances, a fact about a bird - the color of its plumage, or the nature of its song - serves as metaphor for poetic contemplation. But many of these poems also reflect the important place that birds hold - whether metaphorically or in actuality - in my dreams, my memories, and my psyche."
