Venison - Paperback
by Thorpe Moeckel (Author)
"Part orison, part ecstatic vision, part post-Lapsarian psalm, Venison turns the act of dressing/blessing a buck into rumination on 'the red path' of laboring, bloodshed, making, and the search for meaning that marks the human fall from paradise into time."-- Lisa Russ Spaar
Food doesn't get any more local, cosmic, primitive, tasty, or disturbing than in this book-length, lyrical-meditative poem. At stake are no less than the origins and mysteries of flesh and touch.
