To the 4 a.m. Light

Author: Adrienne S. Wallner

Publisher: Finishing Line Press

Adrienne S. Wallner is a poetry force-field. Her poems are moving in the truest sense—physicality embodied in language that consistently speaks to the joys and griefs of being on earth. She is a Whitman poet in the sense that she is writing the one-life poem that radiates from her self in unpredictable directions, a poem that is grandly and sensitively inclusive. I don’t invoke Walt’s yawping name lightly. Adrienne S. Wallner is a genuine daughter, full of the real, intemperate, declarative, evocative, demonstrative stuff. This book is a pleasure from start to finish.
