“[Beth Moon’s] images have a fairy-tale quality to them . . . without color, I could see things that had at first escaped my eyes: their elegant bearing, their strong expressions, and the ethereal quality and texture of their feathers. By eliminating the color, Beth allowed me to see the chickens’ beauty in a deeper way.” —Isabella Rossellini, from the foreword to Literary Chickens
