Summary:
In 2012, Kyo Maclear met a local
Toronto
musician with an equally captivating side passion - he had recently lost his heart to
birds
. Curious about what prompted this young urban artist to suddenly embrace nature, Kyo decides to follow him for a year and find out. This memoir celebrates the particular madness of loving and chasing after
birds
in a big city. Intimate and philosophical, moving with ease between the granular and the grand view, it celebrates the creative and liberating effects of keeping your eyes and ears wide open, and explores what happens when you apply the core lessons of birding to other aspects of life. In one sense, this is a book about disconnection - how our passions can buckle under the demands and emotions of daily life - and about reconnection: how the act of seeking passion and beauty in small ways can lead us to discover our most satisfying life. On a deeper level, it takes up the questions of how we are shaped and nurtured by our parallel passions, and how we might come to cherish not only the world's pristine natural places but also the blemished urban spaces where most of us live. Follow two artists on a yearlong adventure that is at once a meditation on the nature of creativity and a quest for a good and meaningful life. Kyo Maclear is a novelist, essayist and children's author. She was born in London, England and moved to
Toronto
at the age of four. She is the author of two novels for adults, The Letter Opener and Stray Love, and numerous books for children, including Julia, Child and The Good Little Book. Kyo lives in
Toronto
.
