MSLEXIA REVIEW: "Thatcher wields form like a whip."

Thanks to Ellora Sutton and Mslexia for a lovely review of Christina Thatcher's third poetry collection, Breaking a Mare in issue 106. Here are some snippets:

"Breaking a Mare is Christina Thatcher’s ode to growing up on a horse ranch in Pennsylvania, a space where girls are taught 'never show / you’re willing to stay down’ (‘Get back on the horse’). But there are other lessons, too, subtly communicated by the ranch’s mares."

"Thatcher has a direct style, comparable to Selima Hill; she shows us, with precise detail, what’s on the surface, the veil through which uneasiness seeps""Thatcher wields form like a whip."
