‘With a Bird’ invites readers into an expansive, cross-disciplinary conversation about how we live with an think alongside birds. The book frames birds not as metaphors or curiosities, but as kin – creatures with their own histories, desires, and forms of knowing. Spanning speculative fiction, personal essay, visual art, ancestral memory, and critical ornithology, contributions explore the fragile, often overlooked relationships between birds and humans across myth, science, migration, and dream. With an eye towards multispecies futures, the book draws on decolonial, feminist, and ecological practices to unsettle dominant narratives and invite forms of care, reciprocity, and repair.
