Summary

"The camera can make a fool of a realist," says the speaker in the opening poem of Holly Mitchell's debut collection Mare's Nest. This claim--equal parts provocation and invitation--prepares the reader for the vivid portraits that follow: part family lore, part coming-of-age, part naturalist study. Human intimacy is translated into the language of the stable, the pasture, the horse farm; the precarity of a mare's life speaks to human strength and fragility.--Publisher
