Synopsis
The poems in A Common Name for Everything are concerned primarily with the holiness of rural spaces. They build idiosyncratic worlds around the themes of nature, home, parenting, and naming. They can be both poignant and absurd: a professional namer of lakes explains his standards; new mothers are given gifts of mammoths; the rural gods are given names; a study of sheep results in loneliness. In the places these poems build, wandering is a state of being, and nostalgia for home has no balm. 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.
