by Madeleine F White
Book I of The Crossing Places Series
Based on her travels on horseback, Madeleine F White invites us to look beyond the road she rides on and beyond the page she writes, into the beating heart of our natural world and the relationships it contains, including that with herself. 'The Horse And The Girl' is not about a horse and his middle-aged rider, rather it’s about discovering what lies at the heart of their blended existence.
The Horse And The Girl is a series of 30 linked narrative poems, conversations between the ‘Horse And The Girl,’ looking at issues such as relationships, climate change, growing older, life, death and change in general. It offers a wry, poignant look at the world around us, with a strong environmental slant. Something between Conversations With God and The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse – bestsellers both – these poems detail the imagined dialogues that occur between the main protagonist and the horse she rides.
