“My only goal in life is to move to the country, raise goats, and make cheese. So far, I am not succeeding. However, Brad Kessler made my dream a reality in Goat Song, which documents his introduction to the pastoral life. Not only is his prose to die for, but his exploration of etymology, history, philosophy and the mythology regarding goats is beyond fascinating.” —Kaitlyn, The Duck Store (University of Oregon), Eugene
