SUMMARY:The Poetry of Horses: A Community Read
DESCRIPTION:Picture is of Maxine Kumin’s PoBiz Farm (Maxine on her horse)\, from the Maxine Kumin website \nFree. \nThe relationship of humans and horses has inspired some of the most moving and acclaimed poetry by some of our greatest poets. Today’s event is an opportunity for community members to come and read (out loud) their favorite horse related poems\, or read from the poems we’ll provide. Or just listen. \nAn opportunity to lift our voices and tune our ears in praise of the importance of horses to human history (we wouldn’t be where we are without them). \nOne of the poets whose work we’ll include is Maxine Kumin\, whose Amanda poems capture not only the unique horse-human relationship but also\, vividly\, a horse.  If you like it\, come and sign up to read it. \nAmanda Dreams She Has Died and Gone to the Elysian Fields \nThis morning Amanda\nlies down during breakfast.\nThe hay is hip high.\nThe sun sleeps on her back\nas it did on the spine\nof the dinosaur\nthe fossil bat\nthe first fish with feet\nshe was once.\nA breeze fans\nthe deerflies from lighting.\nOnly a gaggle of gnats\nhousekeeps in her ears.\nA hay plume sticks out of her mouth. \nI come calling with a carrot\nfrom which I have taken\nthe first bite.\nShe startles\nshe considers rising\nbut retracts the pistons\nof her legs and accepts\nas loose-lipped as a camel. \nWe sit together.\nIn this time and place\nwe are heart and bone.\nFor an hour\nwe are incorruptible. \nOthers we may include are Donald Hall’s “The Names of Horses”\, Jack Gilbert’s “Horses at Midnight without a Moon”\, and a sad one called “Weakness” by Alden Nowlan (suggested by Sandisfield poet Hannah Fries). \n  \n
