Not much information about the poet, but I love the poem. It's clear, clear-eyed, calm, directed. I guess that, maybe, makes it sound lame, but I mean all those adjectives in the best possible way.
I love the metaphor. I love the connection and the idea she makes between hard life - living, feeling without support or control - and the mythical Himalayan birds. God, it's just so good, so right. So damn apt.
Favorite line: "They are born in the air,/must learn to fly before falling"
