Adele Seronde is a painter, poet and community activist. She has exhibited in galleries on the east coast, in southwest Arizona and in Italy over the last sixty years, as well as published poetry for both adults and schoolchildren. During the year 1968, answering the challenging anger of America's citizens at Martin Luther King's assassination, she helped organize a unifying citywide program: the Mayor of Boston's Neighborhood Art's Festival, to bring the imagination and beauty of the arts to help heal people. Besides writing or contributing to five books of poetry, Seronde has written two books in prose (2006): Our Sacred Garden: the Living Earth, concerning ways to protect and nurture our natural environment, and Pegasus: Wings on Fire in Education (still being edited), addressing today's crises in American education. She has also founded a national organization: Gardens for Humanity, to encourage and teach gardening in school, hospitals and caring centers in both urban and rural areas. This book of poetry is more personal. All My Loves and Deaths reveals a lifetime of deep appreciation for her own, and an extended family of friends and beloveds, both living and dead. Their enchanting customs, gestures, mannerisms, laughter and quirks are caught in momentary flashes, not as complete portraits but as spontaneous revelations.

Adele Seronde was born in 1925, educated at the Madeira School and Bennington College. She was married in 1945, and has five children, eleven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Born into a family of six generations of artists, Seronde inherited talent as both a painter and poet. She has had solo and group exhibitions all over the East Coast of America, in the Southwest, and also in Italy. Her children's poetry is used in many schools, and she has published or contributed to five other books of poetry. Her first book in prose, Our Sacred Garden: the Living Earth, reflects her deep concern with our environmental crisis. It also speaks of her experiences in community activism as a co-director of Visual Art for "Summerthing," the Mayor of Boston's Neighborhood Arts Festival (1968-'72), and later as founder of Gardens for Humanity, a program to help build or catalyze gardens in schools, community or retirement centers, on reservations, and in urban areas. Her incipient new book, Pegasus: Wings on Fire in Education uses this ancient Greek myth as a metaphor for the changes needed in America's educational system, to allow it to fly! She currently lives in Sedona, Arizona, and summers on Mt. Desert Island in Maine.
