We are losing everything. In the second decade of the 21st century, loss and grief have become our daily bread, but we do not know how to chew it. Horse-Man is an invitation to reacquaint ourselves with the lost skill of collective awakening; to re-engage with a deeper awareness of shared experience, where distinctions between self and other begin to blur: we are all in this together. Horse-Man inhabits at times surreal, at times mystical territory, where the human and nonhuman merge and blend. In this liminal space, loss and grief are acknowledged and sometimes embraced, allowing the human small mercies in the face of That Which Is Greater Than Us. 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. Best read by candlelight.

Em Strang teaches Creative Writing, Creative Reading and COPI (Community of Philosophical Inquiry) at Dumfries prison and worked for some time as Poetry Editor for the Dark Mountain Project. She completed a PhD in Creative Writing (ecological poetry) at the University of Glasgow in 2013, and was a recipient of a Scottish Book Trust New Writer Award the following year. Her first collection, Bird-Woman (Shearsman Books, 2016) won the Saltire Prize for Best Scottish Poetry Collection in 2017, and was also shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Award for Best First Collection. Em's writing preoccupations are with 'nature', spirituality and the relationship between the human and nonhuman. She also has an interest in the theories of creative process and practice, in particular in 'embodied practice' and how breath, movement and voice inform and engage both writer and audience.
