Susan McCaslin
August 06th, 2025
In Named and Nameless (Inanna $19.95), Susan McCaslin considers the power of names, silence and presence through poems that span memory, nature and spiritual thought. Her latest collection reflects on women’s roles in family and society while engaging mystics, sages and the natural world—from the Fraser River’s ancient sturgeon to a Douglas fir outside her kitchen window. In these pieces, naming is not an act of ownership but of reverence. Namelessness, too, holds meaning. McCaslin lives near Fort Langley and has published eighteen books of poetry. She is widely known for her ecopoetic and spiritual approach, often drawing from Romanticism, Eastern philosophy and Christian mysticism. Named and Nameless blends her lifelong poetic concerns into one of her most reflective collections yet. 9781834210032
