Helen Macdonald: H is for Hawk
An instant bestseller and award-winning sensation, Helen Macdonald’s story of adopting and raising one of the most wild and vicious predators in nature has soared into the hearts of millions of readers worldwide. Heart-wrenching and humorous, "H is for Hawk" is both an unflinching account of MacDonald’s bereavement after her father’s death, and an absorbing history of falconry. CHF welcomes the multitalented writer, poet, and naturalist for a discussion of her memoir and her debut poetry collection, "Shaler's Fish," with CHF’s Associate Artistic Director Alison Cuddy.
