Angry Cow Poetry

Angry Cow Poetry offers spoken word performances, sometimes solo, sometimes in collaboration with another artist or musician, and sometimes in full-length feature collections with dozens of amazing artist.

Keith Allison, the Angry Cow, uses poetry to express his hopes for a more just and compassionate world for humans and nonhumans alike, and to vent his frustrations when we seem so far from accomplishing that goal. He has authored three books and been featured at many locations.

Years ago, for Writing Knights’ sWord Fight Competitions, where poets battled with words, Keith took on the character of the Angry Cow, in costume, to shed some bitter truth on the happy cow myth. The name now lends itself to the work he publishes in print and video.

He has made music and poetry videos for a number of artists and produces and edits a quarterly video poetry collection, Outdoor Voices in an Indoor World, that brings together many incredible poetic voices.
