Description

If cows could talk, what would they say?The Golden Book of Bovinities represents the collective wisdom of centuries of bovine self-awareness.On its surface, Robert Moore’s fourth collection is a running ledger ofaphorisms, maxims and injunctions that lay bare the mystery behindthose docile cud-chewers. Deeper down, however, the book is anindictment against the inhuman cruelty we inflict on each other aswell as on the non-human world. A tour de force allegory about ourpost-9/11 world,The Golden Book of Bovinites contains some of thefreshest, funniest, most startling poetry you will ever read.
