      Description:NAMING THE BEASTS is a menagerie of poems about the gnarlier aspects of being a creature of this world. Within these pages wilderness and suburbia collide. The ''I'' in these poems takes many forms: a wolf, a waterbuck, a bird ''stuck circling the carnage''. Whether soaring above or prowling through the neighbourhood, Mortons beasts bear witness to an unremitting vision of pain and ecological damage. As the flames climb higher, the beasts in this collection are left to wander and live out their lives. There is love and loneliness, passivity and rage. Yet there is always hope. Hoof and hide, fang and gut, these images and insights are those of an artist in a war zone intent on chronicling beauty in a world that is falling apart. Morton''s poems take a bite out of the world around us, as they explore reality through the vitality and immersiveness of their imaginative powers.
