Klappentext

Montana poet: Not only was Michael Earl Craig (Earl to friends) Poet Laureate of Montana from 2015-2017, he runs a full-time farrier practice in Shields Valley, near Livingston, Montana.
Excellent reader: Craig is the best reader of his own work. Hilariously deadpan, his readings are legendary among poets who appreciate his wit. He enjoys giving readings in-person and he is thinking of touring with the book in 2023.
“Cool” poet: While his work was included in the Poetry Society of America’s New American Poetry Series, he has built up a reputation as a “cool” poet because of his unusual humor and his farrier identity. Thus, he has garnered previous attention from html Giant, Granta, the Believer, and elsewhere. This book would be perfect for a shelf-talker, as it is very quotable, and it would be great on display with any work from James Tate, Werner Herzog, or Julio Cortázar, all of whom are big influences for Michael Earl Craig.
