Things as It Is
Author: Chase TwichellPublisher: Copper Canyon Press
ISBN: 1619321947
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
"Poems of balanced wildness and instinctual grace."—New York Journal of Books “[Twichell’s poems] open out into a stark, sometimes bewildered clarity.” —The Washington Post “Suppose you had Sappho’s passion, the intelligence and perspicacity of Curie, and Dickinson’s sweet wit . . . then you would have the poems of Chase Twichell.” —Hayden Carruth “A major voice in contemporary poetry.” —Publishers Weekly Chase Twichell’s eighth collection lifts up the joy of the moment while mourning a changing world. In Things as It Is—purposefully not things as they are—the present and past parallel and intermingle. Meditating on a litany of formative moments, Twichell’s clear-as-a-bell voice delivers visceral and emotionally resonant lyrics, elegies, and confessions. From “What the Trees Said”: The trees have begun to undress. Soon snow will come to bandage the whole wounded world. When I was young I eloped with the sky. I wore blue-black, with under-lit ribbons of pink . . . Chase Twichell, a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Twichell has published seven previous poetry collections, including Horses Where Answers Should Have Been, which received the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award. For ten years, she owned and operated Ausable Press.

Reining Essentials

Pages : 522
Book Description
World Champion trainer and rider Sandy Collier provides this indispensable guide of progressive training exercises for the reining horse. Whether green broke, or "push-button," every horse will perform more willingly, cleanly, and quickly with work on what she calls the "Seven Essentials"—the foundational basics every riding horse needs. Like no other book out there, Collier breaks down the maneuvers required in a reining pattern and the tricks and techniques for introducing them, perfecting them, and showing them off in competition. You'll learn about: • Collection and steering—condensing your horse's frame and getting his feet to follow his nose • Lead departures, circles, and spins—preparing for the lope, "hunting the circle," and driving into the spin • Stops, back-ups, and rollbacks—perfecting the slide, moving backward with cadence, and swinging around 180 degrees over the hocks • Lead changes—getting it right and preventing anticipation
