Unraveling Mystery and Memory: A Riveting Dive into Nin Andrews’ Son of a Bird
In her book, Andrews makes a prolonged visit to the Virginia farmhouse of her childhood, where she grew up with her mother, father, and multiple siblings. She shares her story through prose poems, the perfect choice for weaving together a series of memories that often linger around one simple object or moment in time. Each chapter makes a captivating micro-story on its own, but together, they become the haunting backbone of a life the author is still trying to piece together and understand as an adult.
