The Birds Are Singing in the Snow

The Birds are Singing in the Snow reflects on the beauty and mystery of the natural world and our place within it. Bates guides readers into falling more deeply in love with one's life and all the lives surrounding us. The poems were inspired by readings from Wendell Berry’s wondrous poetry collection This Day: Collected and New Sabbath Poems.

This is Bates’ second book of poetry.
