British author, poet and naturalist Helen Macdonald’s new book is a memoir about her father’s unexpected and sudden death. It’s also a detailed look at how she learned to overcome her grief by training a goshawk, a bird with a reputation as “murderous, difficult to tame, sulky, fractious and foreign.” Macdonald joins us to talk about her acclaimed book, “H is for Hawk.”
