The Strength of a Named Thing: Poems
by Brendan Galvin
Category: Poetry

"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.
