dark funny fast-paced

4.0

A book of poems about all things pig. I love the formal play, the wide association of pigs and pig topics, and the pig as an anchor for the collection. While it’s fun at times, like dancing at a club, it’s also deeply serious and contemplative, writing praise poems to Miss Piggy and also poems considering the similar treatments of Jews and pigs. A collection about queerness, Jewishness, animalness, and humanness.
