Praise for Mega Milk

“Mega Milk is excessive and leaky and exuberant and a little nasty. Readers, lap it up.“ —Xtra Magazine

“Takes the staid category of the 'thing biography' and lights a firecracker beneath it.“ —Public Seminar

“A wild and outrageous queer essay collection that ventures down several eccentric avenues of exploration.“ —Library Journal

“Milk is just the beginning of this book. Cows are just the beginning. Animal rights, factory farming, capitalist desecration, human-animal relations ranging from cruelty to tenderness, Megan’s own autobiography—are just the beginning. Mega Milk is a feat of literary virtuosity, a kaleidoscope of eros that left me gasping.” —Dodie Bellamy, author of Bee Reaved

“This surreal, horny, and gloriously grotesque investigation of milk will suck you in and surprise you, again and again. I will forever suckle at the teat of Megan Milks’s magnificent mind. They are a poet of the sensate, a weird queer pilgrim at the altar of the udder, asking how we might be kinder to each other, human and cow. Why can’t more books be like this?” —Sabrina Imbler, author of How Far the Light Reaches

“Full of nerve, verve, and erotic risks that made me cackle and blush, this book is no essay collection or monograph—it’s a whole new kind of thing. A true experience where the reader enters one way and leaves seeing the animal body and its substances completely anew.” —Emma Copley Eisenberg, author of Housemates

“Mega Milk is the kinkiest book I’ve ever read. A work of udder genius!” —Myriam Gurba, author of Creep

“Inquisitive, rigorous, aberrant—in other words, enthrallingly queer—Mega Milk leads readers on a visceral romp through family, identity, sex, the bodies of actual cows, and the whole of the dairy industry. Often tantalizing and occasionally, lovingly confounding, Milks’s first essay collection is nothing short of astounding. There are few books I can shove in the hands of both theorist pals and farm friends across the gender spectrum and tell them honestly: ‘Read this. It will change your life.’” —Anne Elizabeth Moore, author of Body Horror

“Never, in my most miserable trans kid yearning, did I realize the zaps of pleasure, relief, and swelling recognition I’d feel reading Mega Milk. In true Milks-ian form, Mega Milk is completely unafraid to be weirder than any/all proffered containers. A genre unto itself, Mega Milk has no ilk, no comparison. My hooves are sweating in admiration. This is a Milks world and we’re just lucky to be in it!” —Jess Arndt, author of Large Animals
