Almanac of a Wayward Goat
A poetry collection that roams freely through love, lust, loss, and laughter, unfiltered, unapologetic, and unmistakably Australian.
This is poetry that refuses to be tamed. With unflinching honesty and a wicked sense of humor, Almanac of a Wayward Goat explores the full spectrum of human experience from tender romance to gritty irreverence, from heartfelt reflection to laugh-out-loud absurdity.
Heartbreak and healing are explored with raw emotional depth. Love lost, trust betrayed, and the long road toward recovery. But this collection is not afraid to get dirty. Everyday absurdities are given their due hilarious verses about farts, failed diets, and unfortunate funerals.
A distinctly Australian voice runs through this work. Tributes to soldiers and their mateship, the grit of outback farmers, and the simple pleasure of a cold beer capture the spirit of a nation. Dark humor and the macabre make memorable appearances too. Witches, ghouls, and the Grim Reaper all have their say.
With titles like Wanda the Witch, Beer Makes It Better, Skinny Dip, and Funeral Gone Wrong, this collection offers something for every mood.
Written in accessible rhyming style, these poems speak directly to the heart and the funny bone. Just honest, emotional, and unapologetically human verse.
Perfect for fans of contemporary Australian poetry, romantic verse, and humorous collections.
Laugh. Cry. Feel deeply.
