Terms of Venery, the collective nouns used to denote a group of animals or birds, are reconsidered in this new collection of poems by Paula J. Lambert. Here, she confronts disasters of every kind-those ahead of us and those we might be forced to admit we've already been dealing with for decades. In Terms of Venery, Revised, the personal and the collective are ever intertwined, and ignoring any part of that "sacred singularity" can only do more damage. This, says Lambert, is the lesson we're sent here to grasp.
