"I Just Count The Wings Not The Feathers" I recently received a re-release of Charles Harper’s Birds & Words, a wonderfully optimistic book currently being published through Ammo Books. First issued in 1972, this remarkable collection of Mr. Harper’s ornithological silkscreens, produced by the artist from 1956-60, informs us of the many curious behaviors of America’s once-vast bird population. Whether you add it to your gift list to give (or maybe better yet, to receive!), this is a book that amuses and inspires, reminding us of that delicate balance between the preservation of nature and oneself.
