Reseña del editor:

There's a fine density and intensity to this work, the 'thinginess' that informs our actual lives, and a radically innovative use of language. I kept thinking of the alabaster bear and petrified whale vertebrae on our mantle, these fabulous memories of life. This is a fine book.-Jim Harrison

Black-Eyed Heifer is a mighty anthem to down home local cultureùthe deeply rootedùthe feisty, sustaining rhythm that saturates the land. These lyrical prose poems sing a 'rampant fire' tune 'to yesterday's hands-up hinterland' and the fact that 'there were horses, there always are.' There is abundant vitality and wide-eyed beauty in Shelly Taylor's contemporary Georgian eclogues, 'all the while mindful of the color turn' and 'silent footwork & news.'-Brenda Iijima

The prose poems of Shelly Taylor's first collection create stories that poke through your eye & go straight through your head. Ms. Taylor makes up words in 'holler time: language you haven't heard before but know, right away, to be urgent. I can tell you that she 'put me ripened there: into a three-dimensional South of horses, fields, and characters Her poems are hell-bent, mad-cap adventures whose diction & syntax defy category.-Jane Miller
