Young and female in a male-dominated field\, Tina was handed an assignment to rehabilitate a population that had been devastated by the effects of DDT. The challenges were prodigious—there was no model to emulate for a bird of the eagle’s size\, for one—but Tina soon found that her own path to self-discovery and confidence-building was deeply connected with the survival of the species she was chosen to protect. Ultimately\, Tina spent two years playing “mother” to seven eaglets at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge\, east of Seneca Falls in New York. Driven by her passion\, she discovered unknown reserves of patience\, determination\, and grit. \nAt a time when the mass extinction of bird species is a critical global topic\, Return to the Sky reminds us how\, with a mix of common sense\, resilience\, and resolve\, humans can be effective stewards of the natural world. \nAbout the Author: Tina received her graduate degree from Cornell University in ornithology and wildlife biology. Her research on Bald Eagle Reintroductions was conducted through the Lab of Ornithology and the project took place in Montezuma refuge\, an hour north of Ithaca. She has presented at Montezuma and the Eaton Birding Society in Nov. 2024 and will be giving talks at the Lab of Ornithology and the Onondaga Library in May 2025 as well as the Rochester Bird Club in Nov.2025. The Bald Eagles she reintroduced in 1976-77 are now thriving throughout the Finger Lakes region and enjoyed by residents of Ithaca every day. TIna’s book tells their story of their disappearance and return\, which all should be excited to hear.

A reading will be followed by a discussion with poet Benjamin Garcia. \nAbout Hover:\nPoems in this collection focus on queer polyamorous families\, considering the ways in which people in radical family structures are both highly visible and erased. From hummingbirds to stars\, historical records\, and cemetery monuments\, Flum searches for images to represent lives and loves like her own and to find lasting traces of queer and chosen family. In the poetic lexicon of Hover\, hummingbirds become emblems of ungraspable survival and vitality\, while records on paper and in stone afford enduring\, though limited\, representations. The book explores sexuality\, love\, reproductive choice\, and infertility in sonnets and expansive prose meditations. \nLiza Flum is a poet and teacher. Her poems have appeared in journals including AGNI\, Narrative\, Poet Lore\, and Washington Square Review. She is a recipient of a Barbara Deming Memorial Fund grant\, and her writing has been supported by fellowships from the Saltonstall Foundation\, Vermont Studio Center\, Aspen Summer Words\, and the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center. She lives with her family in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Hover (Omnidawn\, 2025) is her first book. \nBenjamin Garcia is a 2023 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow in poetry. His first collection\, Thrown in the Throat\, was selected for the National Poetry Series\, the Eugene Paul Nassar Poetry Prize\, and was a finalist for the Kate Tufts Discovery Award. He worked for ten years as a sexual health and harm reduction educator in New York’s Finger Lakes region\, where he received the Jill Gonzalez Health Educator Award recognizing contributions to HIV treatment and prevention. A CantoMundo and Lambda Literary fellow\, he serves as core faculty at Alma College’s low-residency MFA program. His poems and essays have appeared or are forthcoming in: AGNI\, American Poetry Review\, Indiana Review\, Kenyon Review\, and New England Review.
