Description

As Francesco Petrarch has the scattered rhymes of his Songbook, so Kate Adams has those in Paperboybut all scattered in the steady winds of one mans long life. And as Petrarch has his Laura, so Kate Adams has her love for Leo Adler, made manifest over the course of the collections three volumes.
Known as Mister Baker (for his home town) and Mister Oregon (for his state), he lived in the same house for nearly a century, leaving a legacy of millions to Baker Cityand a mansion ready for the wreckers ball. He made one proposal in his lifeand then proceeded to live in the ruins of that rejection. Born in the same year as baseball itself, he attended every World Series for twenty yearswithout a home team to cheer.
This Leo watches a crystal ball shatter on his wall, here reassembled to show us a shade brought back to light as Orpheus tried to bring his Euridice. In Paperboy, con?dent of her poetic skills, Kate Adams never looks back.
In Lord, Bless Their Precious Names, Paperboys ?rst volume, she begins the story in the eighteen-seventies with Leos father Karl, a German Jew who rears four children in the New World, and takes it up to the nineteen-thirties, when, after the deaths of his mother and sister, Leo retreats to his rooms downstairs, never again venturing up to the second ?oor of his own house.
Faithfully following the arc of his life over the twentieth century, these lyrics slowly add up to more than mere biography, exploring the triumphs and tragedies, the loneliness and laughter, the terrible tenacity of one mans life in images that reach out to resonate in our own.
