Review of 1975 Gregory Corso - The Mad Yak

A wonderful, short piece by Corso told from the point of view of a yak. Dark humor is used to present an honest view of the situation of this animal. The way that Corso makes us look from the yak's point of view is eye-opening; it presents human actions in an honest, unflattering light. One of the wonderful things about poetry is that it can make us look at the world in a new way, from a different perspective. This short poem accomplishes that.
