Andrea Cohen


Horses

The horses refuse

to go to the moon. 

 

They do not appreciate

Swiss cheese and are

 

partial to stalls

and barns, where

 

they’re training

a ranch hand,

 

secretly, not

to break them.


Andrea Cohen’s poems and stories have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The Threepenny Review, The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, Glimmer Train, and The Hudson Review, among others. A Guggenheim Fellow, her new book of poems, Everything, was published by Four Way Books in 2021. She directs the Blacksmith House Poetry Series in Cambridge, MA.
