Blind Horse Elegy by Zoë Brigley

Blind Horse Elegy

With a title taken from the story of Branwen’s horses, but evoking and describing the world beyond legend, Zoë Brigley’s “Blind Horse Elegy” is a collection that speaks directly to, and of violence.

An extraordinary series of works, Brigley crafts with language precise as glass and imagery that sings sharp through each poem. In “Blind Horse Elegy”, she takes words and makes them new again; takes memory and makes it myth.

Content warning: sexual violence
