Acclaimed Poet And Macarthur Foundation Fellow, Lucia Perillo, A Former Park Ranger Who Loved To Hike The Cascade Mountains Alone And Prided Herself On Daring Solo Skis Down The Wild Slopes Of Mount Rainier, Was Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis When She Was In Her Thirties. I'Ve Heard The Vultures Singing Is A Cleareyed And Brazenly Outspoken Examination Of Her Life As A Person With Disabilities. In Unwavering And Witty Prose, And Without A Trace Of Selfpity, She Contemplates The Bitter Ironies Of Being Unable To Walk, What Its Like To Experience Eros As A Sick Person, How To Lower Ones Expectations For A Wilderness Experience, And How To Deal With The Vagaries Of A Disease That Has No Predictable Trajectory. Masterfully Written, The Essays Resonate With Lovers Of Literature And Nature, And With Anyone Who Has Dealt With Disadvantages Of The Body Or The Hardluck Limitations Of Ordinary Life.
