Synopsis
In the next chapter of the Cave Canem/Northwestern University Poetry Prize, we enter the poetic world of Vievee Francis. Bold and skilled, Francis takes us into the still landscapes of Texas and the fluid details of the African American South. Her poems become panhandle folktales revealing the weight of memories so clear and on the cusp. Her creative tangle of metaphors, people and geography will keep the reader rooted in a good earth of extraordinary verse.

Review
“The poems in Vievee Francis’s Horse in the Dark are revelations—of memory, of dust, of the cotton and marginalia strung together to make a history.” —Adrian Matejka, author of Mixology
"So many suitors.... Who can resist Vievee Francis? ‘Horse in the Dark,’ just like ‘Blue-Tail Fly’ before it, attests to Francis’s graceful state of dignified self-possession informed by sorrows, brutal violence, and hidden desires. Francis’s desire lines are complicated. Ever authentic and observant, she adjures us... to follow her... to put down our bow, take up our lyre, and sing. ‘Horse in the Dark’ is the long version of Philip Larkin’s line “What will survive of us is love.’" —Scott Hightower, author of Part of the Bargain and Self-evident
"...an electrifying portrait of danger and hardship in a mostly rural-landscape in West Texas." —National Book Critics Cirle
