The title poem 'She Had Some Horses' reinvents and updates the 'Navajo War God's Horse Chant' placing it in an urban and contemporary setting but drawing on the boast tradition with its parallel structures and syntax. Each time I use this poem in a workshop the students find different and new things in it, so a multi-layered poem in a multi-layered book by a real poet. ( )

Beautiful and devastating. This book blew through me. ( )
