All the names between / Julia McCarthy. by McCarthy, Julia, 1964- Brick Books, 2017. Call #: 819.16 M1232a Subjects Canadian poetry -- Nova Scotia -- Women authors.   Canadian poetry -- Women authors   Canadian poetry -- 21st century.   J.M. Abraham Poetry Award. ISBN:  9781771314572 (pbk.) Description:  101 pages ; 23 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "All the Names Between is Nova Scotia poet Julia McCarthy's meditative and crackling-with-dark-energy third collection. From her observation of "long-horned beetles... rearranging the landscape" to an apperception of "part of me /...seeded by dust / of meteors and asteroids," McCarthy makes palpable, in richly layered imagery and with attentiveness that unfolds stillness, the "Singing Emptiness" that informs and quickens the crow's flight, the stones' weight, and our own being as we move in "the defined world both elegant / and maimed." Concerned with both the inadequacy and the necessity of word to convey world, the poems move through a shifting landscape of seasons and creatures, of the remembered dead, and of scattered stones reading the Akashic field. Grounded in the experience of presence, where the external and internal meet, a crossroads of consciousness where "a language without a name / remembers us" and the poem is a votive act, All the Names Between reflects the shadow-light of being, of what is and what isn't, the seen and the unseen, the forgotten and the remembered where every elegy has an ode at its centre, every ode has an elegy around its edges. (from "Ode with an Elegy around its Edges") Julia McCarthy is originally from Toronto. She spent a decade living in the U.S., most notably in Alaska and Georgia. She also lived in Norway and spent significant time in South Africa before returning to Canada and settling in rural Nova Scotia where she has worked as a potter to support her poetry habit. She is the author of two previous poetry collections: Stormthrower (2002) and Return from Erebus (2010)."--Provided by publisher. Awards:  Winner of the J.M. Abraham Poetry Award, 2018.
