Song of a Goat Man and Other Frisky Tales Hardcover – April 14, 2026

Step through the door to the Magic Midway, where ordinary lives intersect with extraordinary truths. In Song of A Goat Man and Other Frisky Tales, Barbara Knott weaves a collection that pulses with the rhythms of the American South—where desire, loss, and quiet redemption walk hand in hand.Meet a wandering philosopher who travels with goats and carries his late wife’s ashes in his pockets. Follow a young veteran navigating love and loyalty in a town where carnival wonders mirror real life. Witness a stubborn matriarch’s fierce grip on her world, a rigid principal awakened by art and longing, and families bound by memory, secrets, and the stubborn hope of connection.These are tales for the curious, the romantic, and the unafraid to look closely at what it means to love, to lose, and to keep moving forward. With prose that is at once earthy and lyrical, Knott’s characters don’t just inhabit their worlds—they interrogate them, challenge us, and linger long after the final page.Whether you crave Southern atmosphere, philosophical depth, or stories that celebrate the messy, beautiful complexity of human desire, this collection delivers.Ready to step onto the sawdust trail of truth, humor, and heart?
