Some Bird

Who am I? Where did I come from? What will I become?
Simple questions take on eerie overtones in this, Gail Ingram’s second collection.

From a childhood in rural Canterbury through the migratory flight to other lands; falling out of the nest and in and out of love; through all the stages of becoming – a teacher, a wife, a mother, a grown woman wondering how on earth it all happened and where her limits really begin and end, and who decides these things anyway? Some Bird is funny, sexy, complicated and fearless. A restless quest for answers, where someone is always ready to throw stones at birds, and where some birds remember their wings – and their talons.
