<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Loosely following a linear timeline from childhood to old age, Adler's story-like poems highlight the emotional core that lives within life's ordinary moments. Illustrating the delicate yet complex nuances of human relationships, Adler imbues with equal intensity her portrayals of both gut-punch and near-miss life events. Serving as backdrop and salve for the emotions the poems elicit, nature and food play soothing and colorful parts in this collection. <em>Undressing the Heart</em> is a book for anyone who's ever experienced love, pain, and hope.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The poems in <em>Undressing The Heart</em> 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.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>-Kevin Pilkington</strong>, author of <em>Where You Want To Be: New & Selected Poems</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Christine O. Adler</strong>'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."</p><p><br></p><p><strong>-Linda Simone</strong>, author of <em>The River Will Save Us</em></p><p><br></p><br>
