Local Authors
Mary Benson
Hedy Strauss
Lovers of horses, the Adirondacks, and the outdoors will be in for an unforgettable ride as Xlibris announces the release of Blue Mountain Rider, an evocative collection of poems written by Mary Benson and Hedy Strauss.
A step beyond the popular 'Cowboy' poetry, Blue Mountain Rider addresses the whole horse in an exceptional anthology that describes the countless ways these unusual creatures have enriched our lives.
Ride with Hedy and Mary as they delve into the endless fascination of the 'horse world'. Mount up and explore the mountain trails. Go back in time and hop aboard a 'magic' sleigh as it jingles over freshly fallen snow on an old Adirondack logging road. Capture the exciting world of thoroughbred racing from a ringside seat and experience the joy and often the sadness that life with horses entails.
Blue Mountain Rider is presented in a clear and refreshing style. It is poetry for the people; the images in the words can be appreciated by anyone who cares about horses and our natural world. Enhancing these images are memorable photos taken from the author's collection. Creatively crafted, Blue Mountain Rider explores the author's deepest emotions, hopes, fears and dreams. This is a keepsake book that will be read and reread.
