Books by Em Strang

Horse-Man inhabits at times surreal, at times mystical territory, where the human and nonhuman merge and blend. Part keening, part celebration, Horse-Man immerses the reader in a powerful advocacy of sacred meaning and - fiercely, bravely - asks what it means to be whole, a fully embodied human being.

Em Strang's poems are shamanic, in that they restore to us abandoned mythologies. Nothing is stable in this very real world, where houses can become birds, where the animal lies shallowly below the surface of the human, where poems are haunted with what is unsaid.
