Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. She gripped lightly with her knees, as she'd been taught. She didn't want wings. She wanted to fly on the thunder of hooves, feel muscles surging beneath her. The word in her head, matching stride free-ee-dom, free-ee-dom, free-ee-dom as she bent low over the withers, pressing her cheek against the finial's neck, her own hair a mane, streaming wild in the wind. From the poem 'Silks' In tumble, Joanna Preston's bold and original voice swoops the reader from the ocean depths to the roof of the world, from nascent saints, Viking raids and fallen angels to talking cameras and an astronaut in space.
