From lonely fantasies to the utter dunghill of dating, this provocative poetry collection watches a recent divorcée emerge from the pen and find love again.
Used Cow for Sale begins with a proposition: The grass is the same color on the other side, but try telling that to a stubborn, hungry, color-blind cow. What follows is a chapbook of free verse divided into four sections. A prose poem is thrown in occasionally to fatten our figurative cow.
Though small, this chapbook is mighty. Individually, these poems evoke the emotion of a moment, shining a light into our deepest and darkest thoughts. Collectively, they share a familiar tale of divorce and the ensuing grief, anger, and loneliness. Lust, lunacy, lactation, liberation, and ultimately, new love also make an appearance as each section progresses through our heroine's journey.
