A lively little book that invites us to look up. With a Bird makes a case for birds not as metaphor or background scenery but as kin, companions with their own histories, voices, and ways of knowing. In a time of ecological loss, it's a small antidote.

Edited by Marjolein van der Loo, this cross-disciplinary anthology gathers speculative fiction, critical ornithology, personal essay, ancestral memory, and visual art into a single canary-yellow volume. The contributions range from the mimicry of the lyrebird to the silence of vanished species, from winter dreaming to co-domestication and spectral presence, drawing on decolonial, feminist, and ecological practices to reconsider what humans and birds owe one another. Contributors include John Berger, Daisy Hildyard, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Maria Popova, Nicholas Mirzoeff, and Manjot Kaur, among many others. The second installment in Onomatopee's five-volume series of "rich encounters between folklore and critical research."

Edited by Marjolein van der Loo and published in 2025 by Onomatopee. 288 pages, softcover, illustrated.
