ALMANAC OF BIRDS: 100 DIVINATIONS (CARD DECK)

Originally intended as a gift to her friends, Maria Popova set out to create an avian alternative to tarot - a deck of cards for making sense of the present. Each night before sleep, she chose a single bird from either Audubon's Birds of America or John Gould's Birds of Europe and each morning, she would compose a message - not a poem, not a prescription, but eavesdropping on the conversation between logic and intuition. An Almanac of Birds gathers one hundred of these poetic collages for readers to savour and use as inspiration, assurance and consolation in their own lives.
