Ancient Thunder

Rating

Pretty to look at, not much substance.

It's a poem about horses, and how they relate to Native Americans. It's very metaphorical, and kind of spiritual. "Beating the earth drum." The art is all photographs of painted watercolor paper treated to look like leather. So it looks like pictures of clothing that's been painted, which is a really strange thing. It's pretty. It's very stylized, probably intended to be in a specific Native American style. The artist is a descendant of Native Americans. Not particularly interesting. If your kid likes horses, it'd be good.
