Why read on Fable?

A new edition of the beloved volume by Joy Harjo, one of our foremost Native American poets.
First published in 1983 and now considered a classic, She Had Some Horses is a powerful exploration of womanhood's most intimate moments. Joy Harjo's poems speak of women's despair, of their imprisonment and ruin at the hands of men and society, but also of their awakenings, power, and love.72 Reviews

“Call It Fear
There is this edge where shadows and bones of some of us walk backwards.
Talk backwards. There is this edge call it an ocean of fear of the dark. Or name it with other songs. Under our ribs our hearts are bloody stars. Shine on shine on, and horses in their galloping flight strike the curve of ribs.
Heartbeat
and breathe back sharply. Breathe backwards.
There is this edge within me
I saw it once
an August Sunday morning when the heat hadn't left this earth. And Goodluck sat sleeping next to me in the truck.
We had never broken through the edge of the singing at four a.m.
We had only wanted to talk, to hear
any other voice to stay alive with.
And there was this edge --
not the drop of sandy rock cliff bones of volcanic earth into
Albuquerque.
Not that,
but a string of shadow horses kicking
and pulling me out of my belly,
not into the Rio Grande but into the music
barely coming through
Sunday church singing
from the radio. Battery worn-down but the voices talking backwards”Cassandra
