Why does it seem we never tire of good horse stories? Perhaps it is because they connect us to something deeper and more meaningful in life. Literature about the wild joys of riding and the profoundness of our relationship to these animals takes us away from everyday reality into the heightened moment. But even more than that, the horse reminds us of a creature both noble and kind, powerful and tender, as beautiful today as it was a thousand years ago.
Reading this unique collection of world class literature, Eros & Equus, is like entering "a dream smell of stables." One is treated to the "unrestrained feeling of utter freedom when riding out in the morning." Included are outstanding selections of prose and poetry from forty-four authors, including Jean Giono, John Hawkes, Kay Boyle, Lucy Grealy, Jim Harrison, Lyn Lifshin, Billy Collins, and Isak Dinesen.
