Lines for Birds: Poems & Paintings

Barry Hill, John Wolseley

Bird_cover_mainedn

Lines for Birds is the result of a rich collaboration between two distinguished artists, both long fascinated by nature’s beauty and power. Containing lush images by acclaimed painter John Wolseley and words by award-winning poet Barry Hill, this dazzling book weaves together a conversation between two venerable artists who, in a world of endangered nature, celebrate joy.

The book follows the flight paths and habitats of birds, from the Victorian Mallee to the forests of South East Asia, to Japan and the South of France.

This remarkable collection captures the very essence of Bird – its energy, inquisitiveness and daring – and is proof that these creatures suggest new ways of telling stories about the Earth.

Praise for Lines for Birds:

Lines for Birds is a unique conversation between poet and painter…The combination of word and image and their interplay creates an intensity of perception and feeling that one or other alone might not reach so easily.

— Nonie Sharp, Arena Magazine

Collaborations between poets and painters go back a long way. Rarely, however, are they managed as seamlessly as in this elegantly produced book from the innovative press of the University of Western Australia.

— Geoff Page, Canberra Times
