Synopsis

This unique collection of poems continues Adele Kenny's reflections on the spiritual condition of being. Despite loss and change, she looks into the dark without flinching and finds light among the shadows. Using ekphrasis as a rhetorical device and combined with Kenny's signature elements of technical proficiency, hauntingly lucid imagery, and compelling immediacy, these poems filter and record experience in startling ways as they journey across aging's inevitable arc. Hardwired by Kenny's understanding of the human spirit, these poems offer us insights into the healing power of attention and awareness.

"Compressed and brilliant . . . the prose poems in Adele Kenny's Wind Over Stones are of one piece in both voice and intensity of gaze. Through each artwork she has chosen as her lens, she seems to be saying, If we look hard enough and long enough, and with just the right slant of light, we can see through these paintings into ourselves. . . . each of Kenny's poems is a gem in a garland of gems."
--Renée Ashley

Praise for Adele Kenny's What Matters
"In Adele Kenny's finely wrought meditations . . . she never forgets that she's a maker of poems . . . What Matters straddles two of the exigencies of the human condition: diminishment and endurance. It abounds with poems that skillfully earn their sentiments."
--Stephen Dunn
"These poems are eloquent, candid, straightforward, and genuine."
--Robert Pinsky

Praise for Adele Kenny's A Lightness, A Thirst, or Nothing at All
"In language so subtly pitched, paced and modulated it captures our attention without drawing attention to itself, Kenny draws us into discovering that what never changes is all around us in the ever-changing world. . . . We trust her to be our guide because her vision is so unwavering."
--Martin J. Farawell
