Macdonald (H Is for Hawk) and Blaché’s fiction debut is a low-key sci-fi mystery that blends the genres into a fusion of something new. With a hard-to-pin-down genre, the novel will appeal to a wide variety of readers.
"My pen crumples into a swan, it is singing/ inauthenticate myth, and not of future splendour… ," says one poem, and in the first poem, "Taxonomy," a wren sings fully with no "subsong," that is, an unstructured, often rambling, and low-volumed melody. Perhaps that's the key; these poems are fully drawn but murmuring with a subsong of their own. [See Prepub Alert, 8/3/15.]
Overall, this unsatisfying mishmash of memoir, nature writing, and commentary might be of interest to falconers but will be of limited appeal to armchair naturalists.
