In Birds, Art, Life: A Year of Observation, Keo Maclear goes on an ornithological journey through the big city and along the way reflects on the nature of creativity and the search for a meaningful life.
Finding herself in a difficult life situation, the narrator discovers the world of “birding” and bird watching. On the one hand, an essay exploring our relationship with the natural environment, on the other, a frank experiment in autofiction, an exercise in the art of perceptiveness and a diary of self-observation. Birds for Maclear become what mushrooms were for John Cage, butterflies for Vladimir Nabokov or bees for Sylvia Plath - an external impetus for an internal journey. On a deeper level, Maclear raises questions about how we are shaped and nurtured by our parallel passions, and how we can come to care not only for the world's pristine natural places, but also for the patchy urban spaces in which we live. .
