Customer Reviews

A book with humor and insight

The poems in this book are full of humor and a down-to-earth insight that avoids tear-jerking while being very True and Beautiful! The poet grew up with horses. She loves them but does not romanticize them which is the way true horse lovers love their animals. The poem about the sloth's defecating is light-hearted and lovely. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a small book of poems close at hand to reflect upon at different times as, like most good poetry, you can see different facets in different light.
