I really liked this collection. These are powerful, deeply personal and political poems about being a woman, being someone from a group which has historically been oppressed and has experienced enormous generational trauma, and also about being alive. The title poem is quite famous, but the ‘horses’, which reappear in many of the poems, can mean a lot of different things. Women's poetry from the 1970s and 80s is🔥
Joy Harjo, 'She Had Some Horses' (1983)
A writer who deserves a lot more attention generally - Life-sized statue of writer Sylvia Townsend Warner sitting on a bench is being proposed for Dorchester's main shopping street
My palaeography group is picking out documents for next week's meeting. We're working through a lengthy inventory of a noble lady, so we wanted to pair it with an easier letter.
I'm excited, because we're going with Elizabeth Knyvett, and her hand makes me positively swoon. (Plus, she's usually upset at somebody and thus writing an angry letter in beautiful form.)

I liked how this built up to a situation that could go either way, and how the mythology is worked in. And the voice of the narrator.
