"This book is the result of a magical convergence, which began with the passion of a young writer, Jonathan Safran Foer, for the work of the 20th century American assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. Inspired by Cornell's avian-themed boxes, and suspecting that they would be similarly (and diversely) inspiring to others, Foer began to write letters. The responses he received from luminaries of American writing were nothing short of astounding. From Joyce Carol Oates to Robert Pinsky, Rick Moody to Lydia Davis to Howard Norman, twenty writers have generously contributed original pieces of prose and poetry that are as eclectic as they are imaginative. Accompanied by tipped-on plates, this volume is a soaring tribute--not only to the work of Joseph Cornell, but also to the spirit of creation." [jacket copy] "How many writers have felt, on first discovery of Joseph Cornell's boxes, that they were looking at a mirror of their own minds? With A CONVERGENCE OF BIRDS, some of America's best writers have been given the chance to prove it. In both design and content, this is a gorgeous, captivating book."--Madison Smartt Bell. "Joseph Cornell's magic is a hard act to follow, except with one's own magic. I can only applaud the wit and ingenuity and freedom of so many splendid, high-stepping American writers who followed a fancy and converged to make this dazzling book."--Susan Sontag. [Also includes Robert Coover, Siri Hustvedt, Barry Lopez, Diane Williams] Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in its jacket's bright plumage. Quite presentable.
