A VOYA Poetry Pick: Award-winning author Jessie Haas takes readers on a ride back in time to celebrate the special bond between horses and humans '€œWe have all been changed by the horse, for better and worse.'€ '€”Jessie Haas Jessie Haas travels back sixty-five million years'€”from 5000 BCE to the present day'€”in 104 poems about our equine friends. Horses have shared some of the most significant moments in human history. In these lyrical and poignant pieces'€”some written from the horse'€™s point of view'€”readers will meet chariot racers, knights'€™ steeds, horse whisperers, even Pegasus, the winged horse. In one moving poem, a compassionate colt befriends a lonely man; in another, a starving soldier shares a meal with his mount. Whether it'€™s the thundering herd of Genghis Khan or a Dutch farmer shielding his horse from the Nazis, these transportive free-verse poems reveal how horses have influenced and enriched our lives. Hoofprints is an awe-inspiring journey through history as we gallop alongside horse and rider and experience '€œthe mid-air moment'€ when '€œeverything may yet / turn out all right.'€ This ebook includes a bibliography and a glossary of equine terminology.
