Publisher's Description:
"Adele Kenny’s new book, Where Eternity Is Learned, is a skillfully crafted and intensely centered collection. Written in a range of styles (narrative, lyrical, lineated, prose, and experimental), these poems are defined by Kenny’s signature imagery, distinctive metaphor, masterful control of phrasing and line, and perfectly paced sonic impression. Forged from the crucible of elegy and celebration, this collection achieves a virtuoso interaction between language and life. These are poems that continue to resonate long after their reading is done. They reach courageously and affirmatively into reflections on grief and gladness toward the inherent grace that defines our humanity."
From Maria Mazziotti Gillan, American Book Award Winner:
"I first heard Adele Kenny read, with Allen Ginsberg and David Ignatow, when she was a Paterson Great Falls poetry contest winner in the late 1970s. I’ve followed her work ever since. Her poems are either elegantly lyrical, gracefully narrative, or thoughtfully experimental. The poems in Where Eternity Is Learned are profoundly human and deeply spiritual. Skillfully compressed and superbly crafted with precise attention to detail, Adele’s imagery is always compelling and memorable. I love these poems as I’ve loved Adele’s poems for more than forty-five years. This is a collection you don’t want to miss!"
From Charles DeFanti, Author of The Wages of Expectation:
"The poems in Adele Kenny’s Where Eternity Is Learned resonate for readers on many levels. She skillfully controls phrasing and line, while her poems masterfully balance language and emotion. Her imagery is especially tantalizing, as she toes a delicate line between the mystical and the material. Each poem conveys a story in Kenny’s unique voice, which still prompts us to plunge into our own life experiences. No one will encounter these poems unmoved."
