What People Are Saying

  • “Spend some quiet time with these pages. There is more wisdom wrapped in more beauty in them than you can find in a dozen volumes of erudite philosophy. Ada Pembroke writes with grace. Many poets do that. What distinguishes her is that she actually has something to say that can change how you look at your life.”

    Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky

  • “From the title itself through the final lingering line, this book is a fascinating and evocative narrative conveyed through poetry that retains the strange, haunting quality of the dreamworld from which its inspiration emanated.”

    - Sarah Kate Istra Winter, writer, artist, and devotee

  • "The Gods of Time Are Dead is an expertly crafted séance that sings the tides of myth, dreams, and life. Ada has an imaginative world of poetry in this book. You’ll embark on a mystical voyage of hymns and richly divine oracles in storytelling. I found all my senses ignited with a profound curiosity for the natural world and our place within it."
