How to Feed a Horse is a manuscript in three parts: One, "Ranch
Poems," activities, contemplations, awareness of the creek environment.
Two, "Numerology," disparate poems that invite us to consider the absurd
in our language, politics, history, and human relationships. Three,
"Her(e)," conversations with a network of women, some imagined, some
historic, some intimate. The author's preoccupations with climate change
and our deteriorating planetary environment surface as she gives herself
over to be witness to the landscape, its decline and perseverance, its
glory and rich legacy. The poems are also love poems; they show the
ecstasy and shock of the now.
