How To Swallow A Pig
His Selected Prose Poems
from BOOKS IN CANADA
Alex Boyd
"This is an excellent collection of prose poems by a wildly creative Canadian poet."
From PULSE NIAGARA: Niagara's weekly alternative
by Nathan Stark
Priest’s surprising and innovative use of language illuminates his prose, making even the dark corners of his
coal-black humour sparkle. Such control and measured use of words is necessary to maintain the reader’s interest in
a collection chock a block full of outrages, painful sexual scenarios and over–the–top slapstick humour. How to Swallow a Pig is not run–of–the–mill Canadian literature, which prizes good feelings and serenity too highly at times. Its energy and irreverence are an invitation and opportunity for readers to take a different path through Canadian writing.
from bloom oon Canadian Surrealist Journal
by Laurie Fuhr
“Certainly the reader ends a book like this changed, having experienced nothing like it previously… The language of rapid-fire Priestian manifesto is accessible to all, making these poems appreciable by the moist brain hats of any spine… This might be the best book in the known world, and in those other-coloured worlds of the alternate dimensions Robert Priest conjures from.”
