An intriguing approach to the rewriting of myth, this poetry collection
journeys through the history of languages and symbolic traditions.
Through main character Queenie, a cow of many abilities, these poems
delve into the creation of the universe as Queenie fashions the galaxies
and travels through the sky as a herd of stars. Delightful and
surprising, this compilation draws on the Greek lyric tradition of
Sappho as well as on South India's Sangam poetry tradition to provide a
balanced work of both humor and melancholy.
