The interplay between photography, nature and poetic form is on full display in #WendyMcGrath and #DannyMiles collaborative new work #TheBeautyOfVultures. Released APRIL 1, 2025 just in time for #NationalPoetryMonth ✨ AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER✨ #AwardWinning #NeWestPress #Canadian #NewRelease
Book Cover: The Beauty of Vultures poems by Wendy McGrath and photos by Danny Miles. A grey background with black camera details and red text. The title sits inside the camera lens, with author and photographer names wrapping around the lens. “The Beauty of Vultures thrums with sonorous delight as we witness Danny Miles' bird photographs and Wendy McGraths poems perform an intricate and masterful pasodoble, where words and image respond to and illuminate one another. This collaborative, deeply imaginative, formally inventive, at times playful and polyphonic evocation of birds especially many of our common species made me gasp at the world with wonder.” — Julia Zarankin, award-winning author of Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder
