 June 4th. The first hour will be dedicated to discussion with the last 30 
 minutes reserved for writing exercises (optional).\n\nAbout this Book:\n\n 
 \n\nWith Eyes Bottle Dark with a Mouthful of Flowers\, Jake Skeets emerged 
 as a visionary new literary voice\, offering readers a queer\, Indigenous 
 poetics inextricable from a connection to land. With Horses\, Skeets tracks 
 the shifting land of the Navajo Nation: What changes and what remains the 
 same in a place that has been inhabited for thousands of years?\n\nIn poems 
 employing numbers significant to Diné thought and lifeway\, Skeets 
 explores the reclamation of land\, imagination\, and language—a world 
 beyond environmental apocalypse\, where joy is possible and where 
 transformation is embraced over erasure. Arranged as a quartet\, Horses 
 begins with a meditation on two hundred horses found dead\, mired in mud 
 that had once been a stock pond on Navajo land in Arizona. What was once a 
 source of life had become a death trap for a herd living on the edge of 
 survival. From here\, Skeets’s poems radiate outward\, tracing the body 
 and its relationship to a landscape marked by geologic time and the 
 fragile\, eroding moments of the present.\n\nFiercely observant\, 
 brilliantly constructed\, and hauntingly incisive\, Horses evokes both the 
 end of a world and a new dawn emerging on the horizon.\n\n(source:
