Simply to Know Its Name by Robert Aquinas McNally

Dick Allen, who selected this book for the Grayson Books Poetry Prize, summed up the book this way: Simply to Know its Name is a deeply splendid collection, one I expect readers will return to incessantly. It is a guide into how specifics of Nature reveal a constant presence of the Other…Few poets have looked as rapturously well at such as sperm whales, the American buffalo, the poor-will, and the starnosed mole. Further, unlike many information-laden collections of poems, Simply to Know its Name revels in the sounds accompanying its subjects and themes. It marries rich imagery with luxurious tonal effects.
