Product Description WITH NO NEED FOR A NAME collects one hundred poetic stills from author/poet James Goertel, which collectively act as a powerful and poignant meditation on the natural world and mankind's place in it. The poems in WITH NO NEED FOR A NAME were conceived as snapshots intended to capture and collect ephemeral moments and concrete observations through a personal lens in a type of literary photo album. In doing so, Goertel has created a collection which functions in the same way forgotten then found, black and white photos do, pulling simultaneously at both emotions and memories, upon both the heart and the mind. About the Author Born in North Dakota, James Goertel spent twenty years working in television for ABC, NBC, and ESPN, among others. "Carry Each His Burden" is his fiction debut and was published in 2011. His poetry collections "Each Year an Anthem" and "With No Need for a Name" debuted in 2012 followed by "Self Portrait" in 2013.
