8 features March 24,1999 Car. .inian City Lights Hosts Faculty Book Signing by Phoebe Esmon Features Editor On Tuesday, April 6, at 7:30 p.m., City Lights will host a book signing and reading for Mary Adams, whose first book of poems, Epistles from the Planet Photosynthesis, was published in March 1999 by University Press of Florida. Books are $10.95 (paperback) and $19.95 (cloth). Refreshments will be served. Mary Adams directs the Professional Writing program and the Visiting Writers Series at Western Carolina University, where she is an assistant professor. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Adams received degrees in creative writing from the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop and the University of Houston. Her work has been the recipient of several awards, including Inprint's Barthelme/ Michener prize and the Intro Prize in Poetry from Associated Writing Programs, and her poems and criticism have appeared in The Antioch Review, The Asheville Poetry Review, The North American Review, Black Warrior Review, Western Humanities Review, Shenandoah, Gulf Coast, and Milton Studies. In 1997, she received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to study in Paris. Though Adams's work makes use of traditional forms (sonnets, sestinas, and villanelles, and sapphics), her subject matter is contemporary. Her book's title sequence, "Epistles from the Planet Photosynthesis," is about the Heaven's Gate Internet suicide cult. "These people hated their human bodies," Adams explains, "in the way that Westerners, especially women, will find familiar." The cult thought the Hale Bopp comet signaled the return of the "giant mothership" that would return them to the "Kingdom of the Literal Heavens" on another world. "I think science fiction expresses the same nostalgias and longings we've always had. On this world, we are all very much alone. Since Plato, we've tried to imagine a time or a place when we weren't." Poet and novelist Rosellen Brown writes of Epistles, "Mary Adams does what every good poet must: makes the familiar strange and melancholy and shot through with of joyousness, and brings the strange up close. There we can see the unexpected branchings of emotion even through the circuits of the computer and her longing for distant worlds. Technically skillful and marvelously attentive to the nearly invisible, Mary Adams is one of the most original poets I've read in a long time." And Edward Hirsch has praised, "Mary Adams transmutes her precursors- Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery-into something rich and strange in this splendid first book of earthly displays and discoveries."
