Critical Commentary of Adair’s Poems

  • Architecturally speaking this poet lays down a road, then a stream, then a sky of stars.  Everything you need to make the journey is there.  This poet knows the power of provocative endings. – Nikky Finney
  • This is what we like about the poet: an ability to be distracted that enriches the poem and then the return . . . – Judges, University of Canberra International Poetry Prize
  • Rhythm propels these poems… Sassy. Unflinching. Unsentimental. – Judges, Colorado Council on the Arts.
