Cow-Tipping and the Deep Blue Sea is a (mostly) light-hearted look at life as we know it everywhere except the internet. It is a book of poetry that depends on real life, not life viewed through cyberspace nor friendships formed one pixel at a time. It is funny and pithy in equal measure. It travels around the Atlantic rim from New York to Florida to Ireland to Cornwall. Indeed, in many ways it unifies the experience of people living in the mainly Anglo cultures of those places, but with a seasoning of more exotic cultures that flavour the experience of most people these days. This easy to read book of gentle poetry conquers the angst of life today by picking it up, turning it around and around, until it sees the beauty even in the more difficult parts of the gem. It celebrates life, and sometimes death. It tackles the cogent issues of the age gently, allowing a response from the reader, giving guideposts to what one might do with the human condition one finds one's self in...or not. Open and invitational, this book portrays the secrets of the heart in the light of modern times. It is a must-read for those grappling with both rapid change and deadly boredom, hope and hopelessness, sadness and joy.
