Breaking a Mare

Christina was awarded a Literature Wales Writer's Bursary, supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council of Wales, for the purpose of researching and drafting the early poems in this collection. This book offers a unique perspective for readers (i.e. the intersection of farm life, horse riding, rodeo, womanhood and ecological awareness); an authentic voice (i.e. as a poet and academic with experience of riding and farm life); and a feminist approach, investing girlhood, goodness, women's work and silence.
