Celebrate New Jersey’s state animal, the horse, with poetry. Flora Higgins and Mike Maxwell will lead a reading of poems around horses. Discussions, questions, and comments are welcome. 

Flora Higgins 

Flora Higgins has been collecting poems about horses for decades, and has included most of them in her forthcoming anthology, “Poetry Is A Horse With Wings.” Flora Higgins gives poetry readings of her own work and other poets’ work frequently. She organizes poetry workshops and seminars. Compiling the anthology has been a true labor of love for almost two years.

Mike Maxwell 

Mike Maxwell has been involved with horses all his life, and is well-known in the equestrian community as a rider, a trainer of both horses and riders, and a judge. He has written songs about horses and horse shows. Maxwell has served on committees for The American Horse Shows Association.
