Selima Hill pictures her lover not only as a horse, but in 100 different ways – as an angel or a whale, a beetle or a sugar mouse. With a palette ranging from erotic blue to reckless red, her book presents 100 dangerously intimate portraits of love and longing, desire and desolation, jealousy and lust. These poems are raffish love riffs with hundreds of delicious images – whipped up into a lover’s frenzy or hitting rock bottom when everything goes pear-shaped. Portrait of My Lover as a Horse is a book for anyone who didn’t know poems could hit you where it hurts or where it feels just too good to be true.
