In Goat-Footed Gods, Kathleen Driskell offers a stirring exploration of creaturehood, motherhood, and the tender act of caring for life in all its forms. These poems move fluidly through space and voice, capturing moments rooted in nature—both real and imagined, intimate and mythic. With a touch of Keatsian lyricism, Driskell places grief and loss beside the abundance of living, revealing the beauty and complexity in both. Her verses challenge the rigid boundaries we draw between myth and truth, love and death, calling readers to embrace the wild, untamed order of the natural world and find peace within its chaos.
