Eros & Equus
A Passion for the Horse
Foreword 2006 Indies Finalist, Anthologies
Why do we never tire of good horse stories? Perhaps it is because they connect us to something deeper and more meaningful in life. Literature about the wild joys of riding and the profoundness of our relationship to these grand animals takes us away from everyday reality, but even more than that, the horse reminds us of a creature both noble and kind, powerful and tender, as beautiful today as it was a thousand years ago.
Eros and Equus merge in these selections of prose and poetry from great writers such as John Hawkes, Jim Harrison, Maxine Kumin, Jean Giono, Rose Tremain, Jane Smiley, Mikhail Lermentov, and many others. The exquisite photographs of Donna DeMari are full of an amazing energy. Here she catches the quirky, unexpected detail of mane, muzzle, haunch or eye, revealing to us the secret life of the horse with her special artistry.
