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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAward-winning poet, essayist, and teacher, \u003cb\u003e Kathleen Driskell \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of five collections of poetry.
