"A collection of poetry by Michael Earl Craig"--

New collection from Michael Earl Craig, farrier and former poet laureate of Montana.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In Michael Earl Craig's sixth book, poems resonate with an inscrutable logic that feels excitedly otherworldly and unsettlingly familiar.

Whether he is writing about the cadaver that Hans Holbein the Younger used as a model, Montana as the "Italy of God," or the milking rituals in Kelly Reichardt's First Cow, Iggy Horse is a book that articulates the sadness and strangeness of American life with the poetic observations of true satire.
