Publisher Comments:

Science, birds, Billy the Kid, and lots of feathers surround The Feather Room, Anis Mojgani's follow up to his Pushcart-nominated work, Over the Anvil We Stretch. In The Feather Room, Mojgani further explores storytelling in poetic form while traveling farther down the path of magic realism, endowing his tales with a greater sense of fantasy and brightness. The work recounts loss and heartbreak while discovering lightness and beauty on the other side. Throughout the book, Mojgani opens tree trunks to reveal chandeliers. He leads us through the rooms inside himself, using poems to part curtains and paint walls. He is lifting windows to let the fantasy indoors.

I carry this book wherever I go. It is a hymn. It hangs like a chandelier in the heart. Anis pulls the magic on the ground, and lets the dirt on his hands hum. I am thankful for this book. It is church. And I encourage everybody to polish their backbones and their boot straps, and head on inside.
