Snorkeling beneath dust and deep, the poems in 'The Dishonesty of Dreams' shapeshift from tender to tough at line-break speed in an ethereal dreamspace. Where Adrienne J. Odasso explored consequences in her first collection, 'Lost Books' (2010), here she engages the liminal, the reality that exists at the borders of a lived life; the fables we choose to build upon, the lies we tell ourselves to make our dreams true. In this liquid space emerges poetry of real power, beautifully crafted conjecture that illuminates the architecture of the human heart. Adrienne J. Odasso's poetry has appeared in a wide variety of strange and wonderful publications, including Sybil's Garage, Mythic Delirium, Jabberwocky, Cabinet des Fées, Midnight Echo, Not One of Us, Dreams & Nightmares, Goblin Fruit, Strange Horizons, and Stone Telling. Her début collection, Lost Books (flipped eye, 2010), was nominated for the 2010 LNPA Best New Poet Award, the 2011 Forward Prize, and was a finalist for the 2011 People's Book Prize. Adrienne is also the author of two chapbooks, Devil's Road Down and Wanderlust for Maverick Duck Press. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
