Summary à Coop A Year of Poultry Pigs and Parenting 102 Tion about meaning and purpose Minneapolis Star TribuneHe's the real thing USA Today. even shamefully I will admit that often the book felt tiresome Perry s old self deprecating humor however was skillfully interlaced between fits and starts of the author creating a working farm in midst of his learning to become a husband father and respected writer of the first rank But you won t find Perry bragging about any of his accomplishments only the sometimes hilarious reporting of his daily grind at being the best he can muster on every front Given that his previous memoir titled Truck A Love Story continued his elaboration on a life Michael Perry has been documenting now for several years the complete rebuilding of his favored International in that previous book interested me little as things mechanical are not my cup of tea But his progressive story throughout that book remained for me uite interesting And in Coop A Year of Poultry Pigs and Parenting he manages again to record a life that novels are made of He could not have made this story up The tragedies that occur are monumental in his retelling of them The gratitude he expresses for what he has is relentless And that is what also feels a bit tiresome at times How can a person be this goodBut when Perry writes for example of the surprise death of his brother Jed s young son it all comes crashing in on me The wrongfulness of my criticism becomes ridiculous There has never been a novel or memoir that affected me as the specific Chapter Eight did Immediately I was made an emotional wreck even in the realization that my heart was still in good hands with Michael Perry guiding me My attempts to convey to my wife just what I had read brought me almost to my knees with grief as I babbled on as a broken invalid in my caving in and near destruction And as much as I actually cried over his wonderful poetic prose the words were never sentimental in the disgusting degree we as readers are generally subjected to in regards to pain and loss The words resound in their beauty and grace I cannot get his prose from off my plate And to swallow it whole would be courageous but for me at least that will have to wait I am a chicken at best running out of time and still not the man I want to be Michael Perry s personal story continues to unfold as the sometimes haphazard events occur among his friends and family All the while in the midst of it all Perry writes and works toward a literary mastery rarely observed in what generally gets published today Cheers again for Michael Perry

Summary à Coop A Year of Poultry Pigs and Parenting 102 Poet Chicago TribuneYou'll find in this book a slender silver cord of smart contempla. This review is going to be about my failure as a reader than it is about Perry s success as a writer He s warm and honest and loving and straight laced and well annoying in his rectitude He comes from a family that took in numberless foster children many of whom died agonizing deaths He hearkens back to his childhood with love and reverence and he strives to raise his own children properly He apologizes in advance for profanity which at its worst comprises ass for buttocks He loves his wife with a tenderness not often found in modern literature And still he gives me a painThat being said this is a rare and beautiful memoir both honest and rigorous and freuently hilarious I don t know why I m all knee jerky about his pious tone but I am Still I have got to recommend this book and recommend it wholeheartedly

I ve loved everything else that this author has written This memoirautobiography is one of the few I ve not read until now because I ve been saving it for a treatMichael Perry is a tiny bit like a Wisconsin Garrison Keillor with less of an ego In fact by the time he wrote his most recent book Montaigne in Barn Boots An Amateur Ambles Through Philosophy he realized he needed to address his addiction to self deprecation But that s only one bit of that work his most mature and thoughtful to date In this book I expect to see plenty of warmth anxiety love slapstick philosophy and maybe a tiny bit of righteousness as he navigates a new adventure in his life with his new wife and her daughter his given daughter Well I finished and enjoyed it just about as much as I thought I would I won t diss ppl who consider it unfocused or too poetical but I love Mike s rambles and his variety of ideas and his languageSome things I love are direct from his family For example his given daughter Amy has been moved around several times On a visit to one of her previous houses she looks up cheerily and says This is one of my hometowns Spinning a living from typing and talking and traveling is all well and good but I can tell you the project does not bear up under scrutiny at 200 am and ten below Especially if you ve just burned six hours and two pots of coffee tweaking a sentence fragment that holds together like cheese crumbles Calvin Coolidge notwithstanding sometimes persistence is just a batty cat slapping at a mirror New picturebook to check out Beetle McGrady Eats Bugs
