Poetry. These are poems about the anxiety of what must be traded for the comfort of the flock. "Flock books" allow farmers to register and track livestock, and these poems survey the anxieties of that registry: the comfort of shelter as trade for living under the weight of threats of removal, conformity, or one's own urge to stray.
"FLOCK BOOK takes stock of the human condition in which Umans's startling images and irreverent wit give us moments as savory as they are poignant-and in a language as satisfying as 'the goodsnap of elastic things." Beckian Fritz Goldberg
