LOOKING FOR FLANNEL PAJAMAS: SELECTED POEMS 1993-2010: In 1992, when my husband, Jim, died, I was 70, and as the survivor, I realized I faced the re-design of my life. I wanted to get back to some creative work. Yet I feared the long days of writing novels closed off in my library for a year or more. I needed projects that took me out into the world, engaged me with people. The brevity of a poem appealed to me. Unlike a novel, it didn't take two years to write one. Now, more than 20 years later, I have a body of work, with many rewarding moments, and many beloved friends to thank for the richness of these years. This book of poetry has come of all this. - Adrienne Richard> ABOUT THE POET Adrienne Richard was born in 1921, and is a 1943 graduate of the University of Chicago. She is the author of four novels (Pistol, The Accomplice, Wings, and Into The Road), the medical book, Epilepsy: A New Approach, plus many newspaper articles and short stories.
