About Wind Over Stones:
"Compressed and brilliant . . . the prose poems in Adele Kenny's Wind Over Stones are of one piece in both voice and intensity of gaze. Through each artwork she has chosen as her lens, she seems to be saying, If we look hard enough and long enough, and with just the right slant of light, we can see through these paintings into ourselves. . . . each of Kenny's poems is a gem in a garland of gems."
"In Adele Kenny's finely wrought meditations . . . she never forgets that she's a maker of poems . . . What Matters straddles two of the exigencies of the human condition: diminishment and endurance. It abounds with poems that skillfully earn their sentiments."
"These poems are eloquent, candid, straightforward, and genuine."
