A Blessing of Unicorns by Mercedes Claraso. A stunning collection of original unicorn poetry

Alan Gay writes: In A Blessing of Unicorns Mercedes Claraso uses unadorned rhyme and free verse to show that unicorns are not merely the stuff of myth and legends: they exist in our everyday lives. She makes them quietly step out of the page and into our heads. If we would only bother to look, they can be found in storm clouds, traffic jams, in sweet smelling meadows treading emeralds, even at a supermarket checkout.

These poems make us see things differently. I will never again look at a horse without seeing a silver horn growing from its forehead. This is truly a blessing.
