Great Regulars: [Pamela] McClure acknowledges the strong bond

between the human and animal world.

How beautifully she conveys this friendship, this love: "Skin on skin," "my flesh on her flesh," "mane frothing up between my hands."

Life is an open invitation: "climb on" for the ride; "come in" and submerge yourself in all that is offered.

Swimming the Mare

from Walter Bargen: The Post-Dispatch: Missouri poets: Pamela McClure
