Reaching from the photographic experiment\u003cbr\u003eof Muybridge's \"The Horse in Motion\" to Patti Smith's album \u003ci\u003eHorses, \u003c\/i\u003e Mitchell touches upon history, dreams, Southern family\u003cbr\u003estories, and queer adolescence in the early aughts.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColloquially\u003cbr\u003ereferring to a muddled situation or an illusory discovery, the term \"mare's\u003cbr\u003enest\" can also refer quite literally to the soft depression left by a horse\u003cbr\u003elying in grass. And so the idea of a \"mare's nest,\" in all of its linguistic\u003cbr\u003epotential, serves as the central focus for Holly Mitchell's meditative debut. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Holly Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1956046127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956046120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/25\/2023 pg. 1","brand":"Holly Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069222908159,"sku":"9781956046120","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_154a50f7-6b69-425b-91d2-ba9cb468bf4a.jpg?v=1685423510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mares-nest-holly-mitchell-9781956046120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
