Adele Kenny’s The Kite & Other Poems from Childhood is more than just surprising – it’s astonishing! “Look,” this little girl says, “how the leaves make / A doily in the sky”! She projects the word as a single bright star to wish upon – such hope and lucid vision! These poems are devout without being precious, poignant without being clichéd. Young Kenny demonstrates a startling wisdom – and a bright gift for articulating her world’s intricate newness.

Adele Kenny’s sense of the lyrical phrase is impeccable. I know of no poet more dedicated to the perfectly crafted poem. Most importantly, I know of no other poet who achieves this perfection as often. It is a pleasure to see her first entering the language (before the age of ten!), and through that entrance, learning to give order to her world – purposefully, joyfully, with the full innocence of childhood. Her talent, careful love of language, and wonder at the natural world were present even then.

"It is seldom that a bard emerges among us, but Adele Kenny is one of these. Seldom have I known a poet or writer of any stripe to drag the soul over such rough shoals toward redemption. I offer gratitude and blessings to her and her glorious Irish/Hungarian forebears." (Malachy McCourt, author of A Monk Swimming and Singing My Him Song)

          

"The poems in Chosen Ghosts are mystical, celebratory, powerful. They exalt experience in a spirit that recalls Blake, Yeats, and Eliot yet speak to us in a voice that is distinctively and hauntingly Adele Kenny's own." (William Maxwell, Novelist, Short Story Writer, 40-Year New Yorker Editor)
   

"The poems in Chosen Ghosts are enlightened, graceful and giving, beautifully crafted." (Gerald Stern, 1998 National Book Award Winner)       

                                   
"I'm honored to be part of this book." (Stephen Dunn, 2001 Pulitzer Prize Recipient)
