Rhyme and ancestry – literary and otherwise – become contemporary in Elizabeth Treadwell’s newest collection, Birds & Fancies, which traces a deepening initiation into the mysteries and continuities of history and biology brought on by motherhood. "Oh daughter thou/shalt grounde & playe."

"Elizabeth Treadwell's writing, in which human (usually female) figures appear amidst fantastically embroidered surfaces, demonstrates volubility, humor, and intelligence in spades." — Rain Taxi

Elizabeth Treadwell was born in Oakland, California in 1967, of Cherokee, English, Irish and unknown heritage; she lives there now with her family.
