The Goatman or Pope Lick Monster, a legendary creature long rumored to roam the woods around Driskell's Kentucky home, is alleged to have caused the deaths of at least five young people at Pope Lick Trestle, a railroad bridge with a ninety-foot drop at its center. The Goatman lyrics are braided with poems about Driskell's child's traumatic injury from a fall. Always at the heart of Driskell's poetry is her insistence that the path to the sacred is found not through the doctrine of ancient gods, but in walking clear-eyed through the dark woods of our historical past and exploring the never-ending wonder of the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Driskell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0887487084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887487088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carnegie-Mellon University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kathleen Driskell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46384107258111,"sku":"9780887487088","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f87618f7-ada5-4f30-abb7-063895990f75.jpg?v=1733282722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/goat-footed-gods-kathleen-driskell-9780887487088","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
