Blind Horse

By Jeanne Bryner

Poetry. Look into the wife's eyes/ when she tells her story,/ the one she's earned. These poems of Jeanne Bryner simply, firmly bring measured dignity to the dusty world of her childhood memories. Jeanne Bryner's poems in BLIND HORSE bear witness to the small miracles that add up to survival in the harsh, difficult worlds of steel mills and mines. She documents the going into, the going under -- dark sweat trickling out the old dreams of a better life. She takes us into the workplaces, and into the homes, with an unflinching eye for telling details, the telling moments in these lives. She is too wise a poet to simply celebrate these lives or mourn for them. These tough, hard-edged poems tell the truth -- Jim Daniels.
