for Enrique Enriquez

Written in the space between two dreams, b i r d s o n g s is a collection of translations of birdsong into asemic Arabic and Urdu. The voice of the bird is turned into form and form, as silence—like Heraclitus said—can heal.

b i r d s o n g s was originally self-published in 2019 as a hand bound collection of 38 voices. Thanks to the vastness of digital space, 72 of the voices are now collected here.
