The latest installment in the Sarabande Series in Kentucky
Literature, Mare’s Nest explores a Kentucky horse farm in its
turbulent beginnings. From Kentucky native and
Brooklyn-based poet Holly Mitchell, Mare’s Nest troubles the
meaning of a racehorse, in particular the broodmare and the foals
she carries. Reaching from the photographic experiment of
Muybridge’s "The Horse in Motion" to Patti Smith’s album
Horses, Mitchell touches upon history, dreams, Southern family
stories, and queer adolescence in the early aughts.
Colloquially referring to a muddled situation or an illusory
discovery, the term “mare’s nest” can also refer quite
literally to the soft depression left by a horse lying in grass.
And so the idea of a “mare’s nest," in all of its linguistic
potential, serves as the central focus for Holly Mitchell’s
meditative debut.
