Overview
Milk Snake invites us to look at the world from a slightly different angle, where small things become unsettling if you look closely enough.
In Milk Snake, Toby Buckley invites us to look at the world from a slightly different angle, where small things become unsettling if you look closely enough. The poet explores queerness, displacement and trauma through clear-voiced, deceptively gentle poems about fishermen, maggots and bees.

his guts
