Wild Horses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991816526)

"Kathleen Patrick portrays humanity at its flawed worst and inspiring best."

From the best-selling author of Airmail: A Story of War in Poems and So Many Wings, comes Wild Horses, a riveting collection of poetry that reminds the reader that being human is tricky business. And in the end, all we have are stories and love.

Wild Horses explores Patrick's love/hate relationship with horses from childhood through adulthood as a metaphor for some of life's most difficult challenges. Her work spans the spectrum of emotions from elation, celebration, and joy, to anxiety, grief, and despair.

As in her past books, each poem tells a story, and each story flows effortlessly into the next. Through simple language and beautiful detail, she takes us along for the ride.

"Patrick's voice will stay with you long after you read the last page."
