Inspired by Bishop and Dickinson, Bone Flute: A Woman Speaks by Irene Adler gives equal voice to the unspeakable sorrows and wonders of being alive. Edited by award-winning poet Angela Narciso Torres, this posthumous collection provides a longitudinal poetic record of American life and womanhood echoing Linda Pastan, Mona Van Duyn, and Grace Paley.PRAISE: "Reading Bone Flute, we travel with the poet through the seasons of her life, moving through history, through memory, through geography, and yet with a powerful sense of immediacy. I feel certain that there are poems here . . . that will survive the way poems do, lodged like a tough plant in a crack in someone's heart." -from the foreword by Nan Cohen, author of Unfinished City". . . Adler celebrates the small but profound joys that make any life a miracle in spite of suffering, 'black clouds fringed silver.'"-Sally Ashton, author of Listening to Mars"Smooth seeming are the waters into which Irene Adler's words cleanly dive."-Cintia Santana, author of The Disordered Alphabet"Irene's small and sacred meditations reveal what the owls, birds, and beetles already know: life's 'wild velocity' lives in every 'quill, bone, and feather.'"-Robin Ekiss, author of The Mansion of Happiness"Bone Flute is a wise testament to the pain and wonder of being human."-Peter Kline, author of Mirrorforms
