Description
"In The Strength of a Named Thing, readers who have delighted in Brendan Galvin's exuberant style and humor will discover further pleasures in his encounters with the natural world of his native Cape Cod - the birds, foxes, roads and mysterious vegetables, and the equally quirky humans."--BOOK JACKET. "Many of these poems involve names and naming things. The speaker in "Pondycherry" is intrigued by that word and how it entered his consciousness. In "Captain Teabag and the Wellfleet Witches," the Captain is attacked by a group of shape-shifters he catalogs as subfellows and nobaths, skroaks, wowry-eyed giglets, drabboons, and so forth."--BOOK JACKET.
