"Buckle up and dive into a mystical, timeless world where anything can happen. Allow your mind to flow with the prose and savor the richness of the text. Get ready to smell the forest, taste the sea, shiver from the damp and sweat in the scouring sun. Heart of Birds is indeed a collection of tales from the heart, beautifully illustrated by the author." -Lena Hallgr?msd?ttir, Icelandic Association of Chicago, Icelandic Language Tutor and Translator "Like the title of Chapter One, this book is like a rose - multi-layered, gorgeous, and it's scent leaves a lasting impression. You'll keep coming back to uncover all of the multi-faceted layers of the spirit of Sophia on her timeless travels with the Writer. The images by Beckwith are beautiful and haunting. Prepare for an abstract journey where time, space, love, and longing unfurl before you. As you read and re-read for higher truths and understanding in Beckwith's telling of his mythological universe. " -Kassandra Tsitsopoulos, Social Science Teacher for Chicago Public Schools, BS, BA, and MEd "An enchanting mix of myth, poetry, folkloric tale and natural wonders. Heart of Birds immerses you in the midst of dream-like stories where you'll find yourself traversing a wide array of terrains. Uplifting, playful and warm, these journeys are entwined at times with surprisingly dark places, and always conjure vivid imagery to fuel and entice the imagination." -Carim Nahaboo, London based Illustrator, Entomology/Natural History and Concept Art
