<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Before Helen Macdonald rose to international acclaim with her beautiful and nearly feral (<i>New York Times</i>) bestselling memoir <i>H Is for Hawk</i>, she wrote a collection of poetry, <i>Shaler's Fish</i>. <p/>In robust, lyrical verse, <i>Shaler's Fish</i> roams both the outer and inner landscapes of the poet's universe, seamlessly fusing reflections on language, science, and literature, with the loamy environments of the natural worlds around her. Moving between the epic--war, history, art, myth, philosophy--and the specific--CNN, Ancient Rome, Auden, Merleau-Ponty--Macdonald examines with humor and intellect what it means to be awake and watchful in the world. These are poems that probe and question, within whose nimble ecosystems we are as likely to encounter Schubert as we are a hand of violets, Isaac Newton as a winged quail on turf. Nothing escapes Macdonald's eye and every creature herein--from the smallest bird to the loftiest thinker--holds a significant place in her poems. <p/>This is an unparalleled collection from one of greatest nature writers, and a poet of dazzling music and vision.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Shaler's Fish</i></b> <p/>Macdonald is a poet of vision and sound, oracular one moment and playful the next, whose first love and only loyalty is to the music of words. --<i><b>O, the Oprah Magazine</i></b> <p/>Devoted readers of <i>H Is for Hawk</i> will find Macdonald's gift for stunning language, patient curiosity, and expansive wisdom on full display in her poems. --<i><b>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Helen Macdonald</b> is a writer, poet, illustrator and naturalist, and an affiliated research scholar at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge.
