Horsegod follows Bagg through life-from the adventures of his youth to the enthusiasms and passions of his maturity. His poems explore traditional subjects such as the death of friends, war, politics, religion, and the drama of human relationships. Drawing on personal experiences, the imagery reverberates with appeals to the senses, as in "The Names of Perfumes": Water explodes from both taps, then a sound / I do not recognize at first, impacts / like rock crunching as it hits porcelain, / seven, eight shatterings. Then silence / tightens the skin of the door's huge bass drum.
With a mastery of language utilizing a rich and extensive vocabulary, Horsegod registers the immediacy and ponders the lasting impact of Bagg's experience. His notes explain the references, allusions, and inspiration behind this engaging series of poems.
