A “gifted magician of words” (Time), Barbara Kingsolver is the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Poisonwood Bible, a postcolonial epic about an evangelical American family’s undoing in the Congo. She is the author of several essays and works of creative nonfiction, and her other novels include The Lacuna, Flight Behavior, and Unsheltered. She is founder of the PEN/Bellwether Prize, winner of the National Humanities Medal, and recipient of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. How to Fly, Kingsolver’s second collection of poetry, reflects on both the exquisitely noted and overlooked workaday wonders of the untamed worlds inside and around us.
