In the late 1970s, Sarah Tremlett lived in a London bedsit whilst modelling and recording her volatile, traumatic life. Following an introductory poem, a continuous reminiscence unfolds alongside ekphrastic re-readings of early paintings (particularly channeling Horse-Woman). Tremlett seeks healing through art from pain diagnosed as still ‘held’ in her body.

‘The chapbook Horse-Woman is superb. It is compellingly written, and communicated with such depth of emotion, density of language, and clarity of expression that I am both deeply moved by its pathos and awed by the author’s craft. I find few books of poems that I want to read again and again until I have truly fathomed their full meaning. This is one.’

‘Horse-Woman is mesmerising in the very best of ways: vibrant and ruthlessly honest, yet with such depth and subtlety; and the complex ‘otherkin’ experiences it shares touch me deeply. Not only does the author live in/inhabit her words with absolute precision and conviction – she captures moments, time, place, distance from self, lostness, aloneness – but the language itself has the sharpness and precision of someone who has stored up these words for a very long time. And yet they feel fresh. And also secret, or rather a secret shared in a breaking of silence. A journey into orexia … by a courageous survivor.’
