A Grocery List & Other Poems Poetry Autographed by Adele Bourne 2010
A Poetry Chapbook About "A Grocery List""Bourne's rhythms are earthy and direct, furrows into which she sows images from the breathstoppingly tragic to the super-wry. The yield is a valuable compilation we are lucky to find in season."Maggie Robbins, Author of SUZY ZEUS GETS ORGANIZED."Adele tells us,'All the world for poetry is grist.' In this fine collection, she creates a tapestry, serious and witty--Ting-a-Ling O'Shaughnessy is truly delicious--in which she skillfully weaves voice and place. Adele's poems are consistently fresh as we follow her from the salt marsh of her youth to the wolf in the back seat to a conversation with a Hungarian refugee. They are a pleasure to read." Nancy Scott, author of DOWN TO THE QUICK Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2011 Adele Bourne is a poet of great cleverness and wit. Her poems are poignant, wry, often amusing.
