Adair is Hot in Thermal, California,
By Debra Nelson Adair (Thermal, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living on Fire: A Collection of Poems (Hardcover)
The third book by V. H. Adair is in the style of her first, 'Ants on the Melon'. The solar eclipse on the cover is evocative of the light verse of sheet music of the early 20th century , masking the alternative light and dark verse inside. The reader is drawn into the humorous couplings of guinea pigs, to be left viewing their corpses strewn along the street. The seduction continues in V. H. Adair's verse, and the reader is never disappointed.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Living on Fire: A Collection of Poems (Paperback)
A must-own volume for readers who discovered Adair either through the New Yorker or her first collection, Ants on a Mellon. The virtues of the earlier volume are well-displayed here: particularity of observation and incisiveness of language. A remarkable achievement.
