About Behold the Elusive Night Parrot
Behold the Elusive Night Parrot is a collection of short non-fiction texts– poetic, autobiographical, scholarly, philosophical, and journalistic -- that explores and juxtaposes an array of intimacies, not only between human beings but also between people and places, objects, animals, and even phantoms. Taken together, love emerges not so much in the forms it takes but in the longings and predicaments it evokes.
