Eros & Equus

Why does it seem we never tire of good horse stories? Included in this exceptional volume are selections of prose and poetry from 44 authors, including Jean Giono, John Hawkes, Kay Boyle, Lucy Grealy, and Jim Harrison. From the exuberant youthful era of horse crazy girls, to the heartbreak and haven of the older horse, we find over and over the sensual, erotic, and passionate connection that binds human being to horse in these stories that are as beautiful and moving as the animals they describe. Includes amazing photos by Donna DeMari; she catches the quirky, unexpected detail of mane, muzzle, haunch or eye that reveals the secret life of the horse. Edited by Laura Chester.
