This is a 106-page book of poetry and full-color photography, a softcover mini-coffee table book.Some heartfelt, some humorous, these poems are a howl to the prairie wind. I'm a woman on a farm, wonderstruck by this simple life with its plain beauty; the comfort of daily chores and bittersweet sunsets. Even my words can't look away. And the horses. This gray mare isn't over that girlish phase. None of us are, so I write love poems to horses, putting words to this equine passion that powers a central part of our lives. What is it that pulls us so fiercely to horses?Horse Prayers is verse but this love affair with poems doesn't threaten my long-term relationship with writing non-fiction. It's more like an inky ménage à trois.WishWe felt them closebefore we had skin;from an infinite prairiethe vibration began.A slow rolling nickerrumbled, more feltthan heard. Horsescalled to us, beforewe were born, so wewould remember theirwarm breath when we first saw fairy-tale imagesin children's books. We were theirs long before we called them our own.
