Description
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.
