Reaching from the photographic experiment\u003cbr\u003eof Muybridge's \"The Horse in Motion\" to Patti Smith's album \u003ci\u003eHorses, \u003c\/i\u003e Mitchell touches upon history, dreams, Southern family\u003cbr\u003estories, and queer adolescence in the early aughts.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColloquially\u003cbr\u003ereferring to a muddled situation or an illusory discovery, the term \"mare's\u003cbr\u003enest\" can also refer quite literally to the soft depression left by a horse\u003cbr\u003elying in grass. And so the idea of a \"mare's nest,\" in all of its linguistic\u003cbr\u003epotential, serves as the central focus for Holly Mitchell's meditative debut. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHolly Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet from Kentucky, now based in New York.
