Twenty years in the making, Virgil's Cow is the debut collection by apocalyptic American poet and former hardcore vocalist Frederick Farryl Goodwin, whose poetry has been described as a "strange mix of Grand Guignol and lyricism...a potent brew of fractured pastoral and seedy cityscapes, fragile confessionalism and Shakespearean film noir The workings of some Spicerian angel teetering on the brink of some ghastly void" (Signal to Noise Magazine). Improbably fusing the best of what tradition has to offer this Oxbridge educated poet with attention to recombinatory energies, Virgils Cow presents a luminous voice for todays brave new linguistic world of hybridized possibility.
