A woman longs to transform into Nicola Walker in\n a cop car, or a Hungarian Vizsla, or just to find an equal footing with\n her doctor. Personal and planetary fractures blur in these vivid, \ndreamlike pages that will speak to anyone who has faced down confusion \nand rupture, when they strike. In part soulful, in part self-help, the \npoems veer between droll and despairing, their swings from high to low \nand back again reflecting a self adrift on a choppy sea. A self, \nhowever, not alone, but accompanied throughout by a host of other \nspecies. From earthworms to wolfhounds, flamingos to Konic ponies, the \nworld of \u003ci\u003eEmotional Support Horse\u003c\/i\u003e flickers with light and life, charting sorrow's depths even as it stumbles upon joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 72 pages | Published October 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63986361139549,"sku":"9781800174474","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781800174474.jpg?v=1774498216","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/emotional-support-horse","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
