Horse and Rider (Walt McDonald First-Book Series in Poetry)by Melissa Range
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Poems about the redeeming power of love, amid the causes and casualties of violence Synopsis:Horse and Rider takes its title from a passage in the book of Exodus: “Sing unto the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has cast into the sea.” Melissa Ranges poems explore violence and power, particularly as those concepts relate to religion and to the natural world. Her mixture of free and formal verse is populated with warriors, weapons, animals, and figures from the Bible and mythology. In a galloping triptych of ancient and apocalyptic visions, these vigorous poems probe the recurring image of the horse and its sometimes troubled, sometimes loving relationship with its rider. About the AuthorMelissa Range was born and raised in East Tennessee. She is the recipient of a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers Award, a “Discovery”/The Nation prize, and a writing fellowship from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Her poems have appeared in the Hudson Review, Image, the Paris Review, and other journals. Currently she is pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Missouri–Columbia, where she is a David R. Francis Fellow. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
