From the microcosmic wilderness of an overgrown back yard to the cool, glassed-in exhibits in a natural history museum, Swallow swoops and darts, tangling the lines we draw between the wild and the cultivated. In her debut collection, Miranda Field explores a world composed equally of shadow and substance, filled not just with beauty but also with a kind of savage experience. But Swallow is more than a crisscrossing of boundaries. It is an imperative, a dare: Go ahead, do as Eve did; let hunger take you wherever it will.
According to James Longenbach, these poems are "too beautifully made to idealize freedom, too much in love with vicissitude to idealize beauty. Read these poems, enter them, and be hungry forever."

      Bird by Bird Writer-in-residence at the Teachers and Writers collaborative in New York City, North London-born-and-raised Miranda Field won the DiscoveryThe Nation award, and arrives here with the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference Bakeless Prize-winning Swallow. Overflying the "Subway," "Crime Scenes," a D rer "Field Hare," "Tumultuous Stillness," the "Museum of Natural History" and many other sites and singularities, Field gets a bird's-eye panorama of the world, "an always-climbing caller, always calling something far-off closer."
