"Devoted readers of H Is for Hawk will find Macdonald's gift for stunning
language, patient curiosity, and expansive wisdom on full display in her
poems."-Publishers Weekly
From the naturalist and author of the New York Times bestseller H is for Hawk,
which appeared on more than twenty-five Best Books of the Year lists, Shaler's
Fish is a collection of poetry that 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), Helen Macdonald examines with humor and

encounter Schubert as we are "a hand of violets," Isaac Newton as a "winged
quail on turf." Nothing escape...
