The range of poems in Massacre of the Birds moves from an encounter with water creatures in 'Hanging House in a Canal' to the appearance of a satyr in O'Donnell's back garden in 'Muse.' Mythic nature abounds, but wake-up calls to social denial also appear in '#MeToo: 12 Remembered Scenes and a Line' and 'It Wasn't a Woman.1 She speaks of the endangered biosphere, of losses incurred by forced migration, but also about the attritions of time in a mother-daughter relationship. A beautiful collection from one of our most accomplished poets.
