Mountain Trails and Pony Tails is a collection of poems written by a woman who spent her life drinking in every mysterious wonder of the American West. From whimsical children's prose to gritty, soul searching expositions, the 30 year compilation of poetry is written from a female perspective.
Whether you intend to read it from the comfort of your armchair or on a log by the campfire, you will 'see' Nevada in a whole new perspective.
Written about the land away from the glittering lights of Vegas and the politics of Carson, this collection provides a front seat on a delightful desert journey; to a land where the sun kisses the earth as it rises in the morning and retires gracefully behind the Western mountain ranges with its skirts of vibrant purples and lacy pinks trailing behind in the evening. Don't be surprised if your senses come to life and you feel the bite of crisp fall air while traipsing through the Ruby Mountains and breathe in the smell of horses and saddle leather coming back from a long ride on the range. You may shed a tear or two, for the angst in a young girls heart, and you may cheer out loud when she pulls herself up, brushes off the dust and finds grit has become her armor.
