Customer Reviews:

• "If you've ever wondered how to capture the power of a private glimpse, read "My Timeless Adonis." It's a stopper. Thanks, Kathleen!" - Hiram Larew

• "The poet speaks about important relationships and shows us a cadence of life lived mindfully. I admire the richness but am most moved by the heart-breaking homey details: "rub your feet while they slide inspired..." "smells woven into our sheets...", "after the funeral my fingers cannot reach..." and the anti-war stance of "headlines inked in blood." Adkock has both range and depth." - Sauci Churchill

• "In her latest book of narrative poems, Adcock portrays a married life ("You paint in your sleep...wrapped...in my mother's maze-like quilt"), capturing the years with lyrical recall: "Turning back, we take a last look/ at tree tops soon to be trimmed white...Long time together shows us how to/ sit in each other's heart." She braves authentic leaps ("It took twelve years/ for us to fit together like utility gloves/ softened by wear) and losses ("...the summer my sister grew weaker/ and I quit guitar"). What kept me reading the book straight through was Adcock's honesty, swaddled in stunningly rich images and sounds." - Therese Arthur

• ""Day is a panorama," writes Kathleen Adcock. "Words scramble onto paper." Unique, fresh imagery abounds in this impressionistic book of poetry, a record of the poet's married life. Green swirls, rice cakes, smoky nights, earrings of ideas, the can't-be-bothered tree, branches of healthy compromise, gargoyles, catacombs, a whistle and a hum all paint a vivid yet subtle picture of living together. Interspersed with these are poems about Los Alamos, Quebec, boxing, vaudeville, Amsterdam, the laughter of a poet, the clutter of eccentric rooms. I delight in these sumptuous yet spare images and feel the emotional pull of Adcock's poetry." - Joe Hagarty
