Synopsis:

Cow leaps and flies into imaginative realms carrying mythology and language. Cow creates the universe, the galaxies and travels through the sky as a herd of stars. Cow writes love poetry and ponders lost histories. Susan Hawthorne's new collection of poems will surprise and delight and make you see the world anew. 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. The collection draws on the author's knowledge of ancient languages and its structure draws on philosophy and the Sangam poetry tradition of South India.
