| Summary: | The poems in A Common Name for Everything build idiosyncratic worlds around the themes of nature, home, parenting and naming, worlds that are at once poignant and absurd, a professional namer of lakes explains his standards, the rural gods are given names, a study of sheep results in loneliness. Steeped in sound play and borrowing academic language to create a specimen lens, these poems bask in the local as they seek to name even the commonest earthly things. |
