Actor Lili Taylor launches the paperback edition of her book Turning to Birds: The Power and Beauty of Noticing

St. Joseph’s University, New York - Brooklyn

OFFSITE EVENT: ST. JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY Monday, May 4, 7:30 PM Paperback Launch: Lili Taylor presents Turning to Birds: The Power and Beauty of Noticing In conversation with Christian Cooper Tickets $20 (Book Included) During a much-needed break from her work as an actor, Lili Taylor sought silence and instead found the bustling, symphonic world of birds that had always existed around her. Since then, she has kept a keen eye pressed to her binoculars in search of vivid stories that elevate the everyday, if only one pays attention. Her book Turning to Birds, publishing for the first time in paperback, is a series of beautifully crafted essays in which Taylor shares her intimate encounters with the birds that have captured her heart and imagination—from tracking flitting woodpeckers through oak trees to spotting majestic blue jays perched on a Manhattan fire escape; from the exhilaration of witnessing a migratory flock from the top of the Empire State Building to the quiet joy of observing a nest of hatchlings in her own backyard. Taylor discussed her book and birding in the city with Christian Cooper, author of Better Living through Birding and host of Extraordinary Birder on National Geographic, followed by a book signing.
