Moore, R: Golden Book of Bovinities

"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.
