Horses and humans go back in time with each other thousands of years. A young girl's love for horses or a particular horse is the stuff of legends, bestselling novels, and movies. In Let's Hear It for the Horses, Tricia Knoll's poetry explores her lifelong fascination with these strong and sometimes symbolic creatures and shares stories and memories of her best rides.
If you know your totem animal is Horse, you'll see these gentle giants everywhere-in the history of war, on gas-station calendars, haunting memories of harvest, a father's fall, and your own hand's memory of dusty withers. These poems will take you into a life enhanced by horses, as every life should be by something friendly but not defeated.
-Kim Stafford, author of Singer Come from Afar, Oregon Poet Laureate Emeritus
Knoll takes the reader close to real and imagined horses-close enough to feel the tickle of their whiskers or notice the green spit on their lips....You don't have to know horses to love these poems; they can serve as a generous introduction to the joy and sadness that canters in the air beside them.
-Judith Barrington, author of Long Love: New & Selected Poems, 1985-2017
