She examines how naming expresses our relationship with each other and the natural world and how meaning is affected when there is no permanent human settlement to remember names.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBinding her book into three segments, she explores in exquisite detail the concrete and the ephemeral -- objects of play, profession, and hobbies. Here is a poetic treatise on the semantics of naming and gesture; how they can express possession and power over another, or kinship, inquisitiveness, openness, mercy, and love. This astonishing sequence of poems moves from the tip of South America to the Antarctic and back, with a lightness of being in the floating world of incisive language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Goose Lane Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780864925367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.52w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Soraya Peerbaye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52801094811829,"sku":"9780864925367","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/poems-for-the-advisory-committee-on-antarctic-names-9780864925367","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
