If cows could talk, what would they say? This book represents the collective wisdom of centuries of bovine self-awareness. On its surface, Robert Moore’s fourth collection is a running ledger of aphorisms, maxims, and injunctions that lay bare the mystery behind those docile cud chewers. Deeper down, however, the book is an indictment against the cruelty we inflict upon each other and the nonhuman world. A tour de force allegory about our post-9/11 world, this collection contains some very funny and startling poetry, as well as beautiful color illustrations.
"A poet of vast reference, combining interests in Greek myth, popular culture, natural observation, autobiography and, of course, literature." --George Elliot Clarke, author, Execution Poems
"A knockout, full of insights, clever language, and humour--of both the mordant and laugh-out-loud variety . . . In the scope of his interests, he reminds me of a Don McKay or A. F. Moritz." -- Antigonish Review
