SummaryJo Shapcott is considered to be a contemporary British poet with traits of a Desperado poet. I explore the literal and figurative meaning of the cow in some of her Mad Cow poems as well as the issues that have influenced the usage of this persona. The essay begins with a quote from the Sunday Times, which praises Shapcott’s work: “Shapcott is gifted and original, and it is in the work such as hers that the future health of poetry needs to be sought.” The essay goes on to discuss critic’s interpretation of Shapcott’s writing; it examines three pieces of work with the subject matter being the mad cow; it talks about the techniques, perspectives and style the author uses to make the persona effective; it is 12 pages long and has 13 end notes.
