Earth Striders

Kathleen McKinley Harris' chapbook, Earth Striders, (Finishing Line Press) centers on horses. Many of the poems are set in the Vermont of her growing up. She won the Ralph Nading Hill, Jr. Literary Award with her poem, Bear Fear, called a walk in the Vermont woods--Stephen Terry. Her poems 'breathe out vapors' of a pastoral Vermont revivified in the tradition of Robert Frost. Richly narrative, they amplify the jangling, clattering, swishing rhythms and vernacular of yesteryear's farm life.--Sara London, author of The Tyranny of Milk
