Please join us in a celebration and reading from Adrienne Amundsen’s latest book, Dog Days of the Pandemic Summer, a compelling poetry collection documenting a personal and collective journey into and out of the COVID experience. In this, the third volume in a series of poetry books that combine deep listening and memorable expression, Adrienne Amundsen once again captures the spirit of our times.

"Adrienne Amundsen’s new book engages political corruption, a worldwide pandemic, and the threat of global extinction with a fierce eye and a grieving heart. Amundsen’s book is a visionary collection, reminiscent of the poetry of Whitman. Her truth-saying and lush imagery provide food for the hungry soul."
—Kathryn Ridall Ph.D., psychologist and author of Dreaming at the Gates: How Dreams Guide Us and When the Muse Calls—Poems for the Creative Life

"Prepare to have your world rocked, your eyes opened, and your heart forever touched by Adrienne Amundsen’s riveting poems. A master of wordcraft, Adrienne’s poems are effortless cadences of rhythm, song, and wisdom. I was truly moved by her poetry, which captures the joys and sorrows of our lives. Adrienne teaches us to see with new eyes and listen with new understanding.  She makes sense out of the mundane and enriches our lives with meaning."
