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.
About the Author: Sarah Wolfson's poems have appeared in Canadian and American journals including The Fiddlehead, AGNI, Michigan Quarterly Review, PRISM international, and TriQuarterly--and they have twice been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

Description

Book Synopsis

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.
