Beskrivning

An intriguing approach to the rewriting of myth, this book takes the reader on a journey through the history of languages and symbolic traditions. Through a main character, Queenie, a cow of many abilities and a history that takes in the creation of the universe, readers come to see the world in new ways. Cow leaps and flies into imaginative realms carrying mythology and language. Cow creates the universe and travels through the sky as a herd of stars.

"Cow is so monumental in so many ways I'd be shocked if it doesn't win at least one major poetry award for 2011." --Heather Taylor Johnson, "Mascara Literary Review"
