This is a 106-page book of poetry and full-color photography, a softcover mini-coffee table book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Some heartfelt, some humorous, these poems are a howl to the prairie wind. I'm a woman on a farm, wonderstruck by this simple life with its plain beauty; the comfort of daily chores and bittersweet sunsets. Even my words can't look away. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And the horses. This \"old gray mare\" isn't over that girlish phase. None of us are, so I write love poems to horses, putting words to this equine passion that powers a central part of our lives. What is it that pulls us so fiercely to horses?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Horse Prayers is poetry but this love affair with brevity doesn't threaten my long-term relationship with writing non-fiction.
