Sarah Gordon's SIX WHITE HORSES is a bold collection of poems concerned with meaning--of such liminal matters as time, family, home, and loss. For Gordon, there are no easy answers; her broadly allusive poetry searches for spiritual mooring through the power of language and a keenly observant eye. Gordon's penetrating gaze rarely provides readers with facile uplift, but summons us to look more closely, to see from more than one point of view, and to appreciate the stunning and often bewildering complexity of life.
