ABOUT THE BOOK

An adult feminist fairy tale, Lovebirdman is a long poem that tells the story of a magician’s daughter, who rebels against her father’s teaching and searches for her own way toward wholeness. In her wake is a stranger who under a fractured spell has been turned half man, half lovebird. The book is a modern take on the tradition of the Art Nouveau movement, complete with illustrations of each of the characters.
