Publisher: Dryad Press, South Africa
The poems in Dark Horse are disruptive, even disturbing. The collection engages with taboos and myths surrounding self-harm, consequent journeys to unfamiliar, sometimes foreign spaces, and aspects of spiritual awareness and loss. Dark Horse offers a powerful distillation of experience and imagination that will be essential reading for any person who knows someone who has taken their own life.
Price range: £16.00 through £17.00
Review
“These beautiful poems, with their pellucid, stripped-down language, deep insights and the affinity they evince with animals both tame and wild, deserve the widest possible audience. Wendy Woodward is a South African Szymborska.”
