“Larder brims with grit, heart and gentle wit. McAdam’s perceptive poems dig in the earth to celebrate its creatures and its harvest, offering vibrant and memorable takes on the marvels around us. Generous, precise and compelling, these poems sate a reader’s appetite for the worlds beneath our feet and on our plates.” -- Lorri Neilsen Glenn, author of Following the River: Traces of Red River Woman

“The poet Rhona McAdam, as an a cappella epicurean, as a solitary oboe voice delighting in the raw flesh of language ever mindful of her job to record nature and the nature of nature, wields her craft a tool, not a toy, to set edge to the lay of stone—to light the way for worms—to give flavours to rotting manure—travelling feathered light years in place setting for humanity.” -- Lynn R. Miller, editor/publisher of Small Farmer’s Journal"
