The
Spirit Bird: Stories
by Kent Nelson
Winner
of the 2014 Pitt Drue Heinz Literature Prize. Traces
many landscapes and different transitory lives. A young man scratches out a
living from the desert; a woman follows a rarely seen bird in the far
reaches of Alaska; a poor single mother sorts out her life in a fancy
mountain town. Other protagonists yearn to cross a racial divide, keep
developers from a local island, explore their sexuality, and mourn a lost
loved one. The characters in this collection are compelled to seek beyond
their own horizons, and as the stories unfold, the search becomes the
expression of their desires. The elusive spirit bird is a metaphor for what
we’ve lost, for what we hope for, and for what we don’t know about
ourselves.
