Blue Horses Rush In: Poems and Stories

Holly says: While I enjoy poetry, it’s not something I often prioritize in my reading life, so this collection from Tapahonso—which incorporates both poems and short stories—was an unexpected delight. Centered around the cycle of a woman's life, the author invites us to explore traditions passed down, holy and everyday experiences, and experience both the history and myth of the Diné people and how these facets of life are blending with modernity. I especially enjoyed ‘Dust Precedes the Rain’, ‘Above the Canyon Floor’, and ‘Daané’é Diné’. While it’s an entirely different type of book, I think this collection would appeal to fans of Braiding Sweetgrass
