Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting – A Heartfelt

Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting – A Heartfelt and Humorous Memoir of Wisconsin Farming and Fatherhood

In over his head with two pigs, a dozen chickens, and a baby due any minute, the acclaimed author of Population: 485 gives us a humorous, heartfelt memoir of a new life in the country.Living in a ramshackle Wisconsin farmhouseâ€”faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at homeâ€”Michael Perry plumbs his unorthodox childhood for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a father.Whether heâ€™s remembering his younger daysâ€”when his city-bred parents took in sixty or so foster children while running a sheep and dairy farmâ€”or describing what itâ€™s like to be bitten in the butt while wrestling a pig, Perry flourishes in his trademark humor. But he also writes from the quieter corners of his heart, chronicling experiences as joyful as the birth of his child and as devastating as the death of a dear friend.
