Hey everyone,
In my April 2023 Book Club, I wrote about the mesmerizing experience of reading J. Drew Lanham’s phenomenal memoir The Home Place: Memoir of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature. I’ve since fallen into a book of poetry he wrote. A lot of which is about birds! Check out the “title track” from his book Sparrow Envy. I love the poems about swan dreams and nighttime migrations, too … but see if these few words on 'sparrow envy' resonate with you today.
