Horses

Critically acclaimed Diné poet Jake Skeets' collection discusses the devastating impact of global warming, industrialisation and US aggression.

The landscape of the Navajo Nation is in the grip of dramatic transformation. Sand dune migration has led to drought and 191 horses have been found drowned in a stock pond filled with mud.

Opening with a meditation on this loss, Horses is an electric response to crisis: a reclamation of land, imagination and language; a fierce act of protest; and a song for the beauty of nature. It evokes both the end of a world and a sense of emergence amid chaos, a new dawn flickering on the horizon.

Somewhere in a dune field

I am hunched over like a comma

studying the way a landfill

can be mistaken for a sky
