“The poems in Undressing The Heart are filled with the everyday drama of human experience. Every line is infused with lyrical precision, and lucid narratives that at times are often tender and always haunting. These are poems that take you on a journey towards emotional truths – journeys that you will want to take over and over again.” –Kevin Pilkington author of Where You Want To Be: New & Selected Poems.
“Christine O. Adler’s first poetry collection invites us to journey through a landscape of complex emotions and situations. In expertly crafted poems, she underscores moments of gravitas and lightness that are part of the human condition. When the speaker in Cocoon says, ‘I listen to the weatherman tell me what to count on,’ one understands at the bone what this means. Readers can count on a glimpse of ‘just what color life is,’ and, like the backlit geese in January, Jack urge with hope as they fly toward the golden hub of sun: ‘Get on, get on.’” —Linda Simone, author of The River Will Save Us
