feathers unfettered – poems and illustrations

Description

poems by Karen Zelas

illustrations by Jan FitzGerald

feathers unfettered is book of poems and drawings that celebrates our beautiful, but often shy, New Zealand birds, their habits and characteristics, their songs, their flight.

The collaboration between poet Karen Zelas and artist Jan FitzGerald presents a delightful juxtaposition of words and pen-strokes that “speak” to each other. Both poems and drawings are ornithologically accurate, yet at the same time fanciful.
