"Goat Song" is the story of a year in the life of a couple who
abandoned their one-bedroom apartment in New York City to live on
seventy-five acres in Vermont and raise Nubian goats. In poetic,
reverent detail, Brad Kessler explores our ancient relationship to
the land and our gradual alienation from the animals that feed us.
His fascinating account traces his journey of choosing the goats
and learning how to breed, milk, and care for them. As Kessler
begins to live the life of a herder, he encounters the pastoral
roots of so many aspects of Western culture--how our diet, our
alphabet, our religions, poetry, and economy all grew out of a
pastoralist setting, a life lived among hoofed animals.
