Birds and Fancies Elizabeth Treadwell

Poetry. Rhyme and ancestry--literary and otherwise--become contemporary in Elizabeth Treadwell's newest collection, BIRDS & FANCIES, which traces a deepening initiation into the mysteries and continuities of history and biology brought on by motherhood. "Oh daughter thou/shalt grounde & playe." Elizabeth Treadwell was born in Oakland, California in 1967, of Cherokee, English, Irish and unknown heritage; she lives there now with her family. Since 2000 she has served as the director of Small Press Traffic Literary Arts Center at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
