Literary Chickens

- Beth Moon Abbeville Press

You heard that right. The New York photograph­er Moon has paired 52 gorgeous black-and-white portraits of heritage-breed chickens with literary excerpts. The beady-eyed gazes of every last one of the birds are fixed on Moon’s lens. Consider the Silver Phoenix female paired with this from Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day: “I’ve done my best to see you as you are, without any of this damned romantic nonsense.” ($37)
