Danielle Coffyn — If Adam Picked the Apple

Calhoun County, Alabama, North Meridian Press, 2025. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. SIGNED by the author at title page and with her unique inscription there. Maxine Kumin reminds us that Elizabeth Bishop didn't want any part of inclusion in a "women poets" canon, so I'll just leave it that Danielle Coffyn is a fine poet and joints a long list of other fine poets musing upon Eve, among them, Lord Byron, Anne Sexton, Ursula Le Guin, Melanie Collopy, Cristina Rosetti, and Marianne Moore and others. 92 pp., illustrated, pictorial hardcover in format, with acknowledgments and dedication. Brand-new, straight from the publisher via the hand of the author, Danielle Coffyn, who has signed and inscribed my copies uniquely, and complete with knowledge-themed, betassled book-mark."If Adam Picked the Apple"There would be a parade,a celebration, a holiday to commemoratethe day he sought Enlightenment. We would not speak oftemptation by the Devil, rather,we would laud Adam's curiosity,his desire for adventureand knowing.We would feast on apple-inspired fare:tortes, chutney, pancakes, pies.There would be plays and songsreenacting his courage. But it was Eve who grew bored,weary of her captivity in Eden.And a woman's desirefor freedom is rarely a causefor celebration.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. .
