"Adrienne’s collection Pull is massive in its scope, and its gravity, impossible to deny. Each image lingers, pulling you back long after the moment has passed. These poems ask what does it mean to be the cage and the bird caged? These poems keep the reader trapped in the amber of the moment, while entrusting us with an honest look into anxiety that unthreads itself. But these poems are fighters too, Adrienne declares, if i was to be reborn, i would outlive my shame. Forever grateful that Adrienne has gifted us with these poems, I will continue to hold them close, and return to them often.” — Brandon Melendez, author of Gold That Frames the Mirror.
