Synopsis

‘Jake Skeets is a new, essential voice in poetry, in literature’ TOMMY ORANGE, author of There, There

A twelve-part poem in response to climate crisis and industrialisation in the land of the Navajo Nation and beyond.

The landscape of the Navajo Nation is in the grip of dramatic transformation. Sand dune migration has led to drought and 191 horses have been found drowned in a stock pond filled with mud.

Opening with a meditation on this loss, Horses is an electric response to crisis: a reclamation of land, imagination and language; a fierce act of protest; and a song for the beauty of nature. It evokes both the end of a world and a sense of emergence amid chaos, a new dawn flickering on the horizon.

Navajo Nation Poet Laureate 2025-2027

‘Grief is a primary material, here rendered into beauty… An astounding book’ Joy Harjo

‘A singularly stunning collection… How lucky we are to overhear this awestruck music’ Ada Límon
