Beneath a Portrait of a Horse in Bloomington, MN

The poems in this book are not all about horses. They are poems of longing, disappointment, and discovery, of the natural world bumping up against the man-made world, of the small places where we can find respite - the crack in a sidewalk, a conversation on a ferry, the taste of ginger or coffee. Written over a span of years and in various locations, they reflect the poet's impulse to find beauty in the mundane, and in the remote.
