Jane Ormerod’s WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM OF CATTLE (ISBN 978-0-9835813-9-0) is an startling new poetry collection and a powerful and visionary work. Preorder special package is now available and includes a signed copy of the book, PLUS a signed CD recording of Jane’s own unique aural interpretation of two poems from the book.

In “Welcome to the Museum of Cattle,” Jane Ormerod’s unique style firmly establishes her as a master of a unique visual/language poetry stream. Ormerod, a former visual artist, writes poetry that thrusts images into thought, juxtaposing the familiar with the peculiar, imposing emotion on a plastic world. Her poems offer startling new observations of the world, filled with both humor and deep insight. Reading Jane Ormerod is like experiencing your favorite music in a way you’ve never heard it before. “Beyond the coast-to-coast culture of pay-as-you-go, Welcome to the Museum of Cattle exhibits an insistent voice; a palette of paradox and poetry  – spoken, broken, blunt.” —Richard Kirwan (artist, London). “These poems explode off the page; translate language into ecstasy, energy and intimacy. They purr, growl, bite. Confess, question, rant and whisper. These keen, bright, big-hearted poems bounce bravely, fluidly on linguistic trampolines. They fly so high—become one with sun, moon and stars.” —Rich Ferguson (L.A. poet/spoken word artist)
