Looting Hummingbirds: Selected Poems of Daniel Thaly (Papillote Press), edited by Mark Andrews and Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, reintroduces readers to the bilingual work of a poet once heralded as the “prince of Antillean poetry” in France. Thaly, born in 1879 in the then-British colony of Dominica, wrote work immersed in that island’s natural landscapes, its flora and fauna. His writing might be termed eco-poetry today, for its examination of the ties that bind humans to their non-human counterparts, revealing a communal sensibility among all living things.
