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 MirrorformsIrene Adler was a poet and English teacher in Palo Alto, California where she was also a co-owner of the company that invented the Aerobie flying ring and the Aeropress coffee maker.
