Iggy Horse

New collection from Michael Earl Craig, farrier and former poet laureate of Montana.

In Michael Earl Craig’s sixth book, poems resonate with an inscrutable logic that feels excitedly otherworldly and unsettlingly familiar. Whether he be writing about the cadaver that Hans Holbein the Younger used as a model, Montana as the “Italy of God,” or the milking rituals in Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow, IGGY HORSE is a book that articulates the sadness and strangeness of American life with the poetic observations of true satire.

“Quite possibly the funniest poet writing today, Craig’s unadorned poetry tends toward the deadpan and the offbeat, with an almost David Lynch-like sense of the uncanny…”–The Believer
