The Horse And The Girl is a series of 30 linked narrative poems, conversations between the 'Horse And The Girl,' looking at issues such as relationships, climate change, growing older, life, death and change in general. It offers a wry, poignant look at the world around us, with a strong environmental slant. Something between Conversations With God and The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, And The Horse - bestsellers both - these rhyming poems detail the imagined dialogues that occur between the main protagonist and the horse she rides.There is wisdom, there is profundity, and there's a charming style to the works which - despite embracing themes of ageing, death, and the dangers that are palpably present to our environment - are lightly penned and seem to whinny, canter, and trot this way and that, carrying the reader on a journey that's emotional as well as heartfelt. In all, it's a sweetly affecting book, and very accessible to any reader.
