Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
-William Butler Yeats
Cadence of Hooves: A Celebration of Horses
This anthology of literary poetry is the premier collection by Yarroway Mountain Press and contains the work of more than 170 contemporary poets with over 300 poems that focus on the relationship between humans and horses.
The collection celebrates the enduring presence of horses in our lives.
Contributors masterfully offer us entry into the world of the physical—heart warming as well as heartbreaking—and the metaphysical and magical realms in which horses play a significant role.
Horses show up in these selections through a wide range of written forms from litanies, elegies, odes, pantoums, sestinas, blank verse, and sonnets to free verse in both lyrical and narrative styles.
We hear the far-reaching voices of female, male, cowboy, novice, farrier, knacker, veterinarian, jockey, stable hand, parent, child, wife, husband, lover, and more—brought to us through poets who intelligently and artfully explore diverse perspectives on the venerable and long-standing relationship between horses and humans.
Available June 2008.
