Love and Strange Horses

by Nathalie Handal
Love and Strange Horses - Thryft
Love and Strange Horses - Thryft

Poetic exploration of love's mystique and resilience.

If you're drawn to the lyrical dance of words painting the complexities of love and life, "Love and Strange Horses" could be a treasure for you. Nathalie Handal's evocative poetry offers a passage through the enigmatic nature of human emotions. Her voice, both unique and arresting, might just offer the solace and inspiration needed to embrace life's unpredictability.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"Trembles with belonging (and longing) and love and sex."--The New York Times "Nathalie Handal's Love and Strange Horses is riddled with provocative incantations that verge on a conjuring solidly based in this world and beyond. There's a subtle singing locked inside each poem that raises the stakes. This cosmopolitan voice belongs to the human family, and it luxuriates in crossing necessary borders. The pages are lit with scintillations that transport the reader to pithy zones of thought and pleasure."--Yusef Komunyakaa Nathalie Handal is an award-winning poet, playwright, and writer. She is the author of two previous poetry The NeverField and The Lives of Rain. Handal is the editor of The Poetry of Arab A Contemporary Anthology, winner of the PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Award, and coeditor of Language for a New Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East, Asia & Beyond. Her work has appeared in numerous anthologies and publications including Ploughshares, Crab Orchard Review, and the Literary Review. She was named an honored finalist for the 2009 Gift of Freedom Award.
