Red Threads and Silver Linings is a haiku exploration of the female lifecycle, tracing womanhood through the intimate terrain of the body. Inspired partly by Jaques' "All the world's a stage" speech in As You Like It, Evershed moves through menarche, puberty, menstruation, fertility, conception, miscarriage, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum life, motherhood, menopause, and aging. Her short-form poetry illuminates the quiet power, vulnerability, and resilience held within the body's cycles.
The collection catalogues the blood that marks each stage of women's biological lives - periods, miscarriages, birthing blood - threading these experiences to seasonal change, the moon's rhythm, and nature's wider cycles. The "red threads" are crimson tides, blossoming flowers, the blood moon: metaphors for menarche's first shock, miscarriage's sadness, labor's endurance, and postpartum's complexity. The "silver linings" gather later pleasures - reblooming azaleas, HRT's sticky petals, a bruised peach scented with second chances. Grief and loss coexist here with endurance, humor, desire, and deepening self-knowledge.
Organized into sections like It's Just a Period She's Going Through, Childbirth and Other Horrors, and An Old Wife's Tale, the book blends the personal with the mythical, the natural world with the biological. Daughters and mothers share pages with ghosts of earlier selves and ancestral echoes. Through haiku's precision, the result is a map of womanhood both grounded and lyrical.
At once meditation and celebration, the collection offers poems that are tender, raw, and unflinchingly honest - honoring the shifting landscape of a woman's life from girlhood's first flush to menopause's soft letting-go, and the humanity found in every bleed, every change, every reckoning of living in a woman's body.
Adele Evershed is the Winner of The Haiku Foundation's 2025 Touchstone Award for Individual Poems

Advance Acclaim:
Adele Evershed's book Red Threads and Silver Linings is a brave collection of haiku deeply rooted in a woman's experience and yet reaches far beyond it. Who hasn't had a secret or a loss that no one else could know or see; a moment when the body seemed to know something before the mind did? Adele lets us enter these moments through haiku without ever becoming overly sentimental. The girl who hides her first secret in a white towel grows into the woman who origamis into a stork. From mourning what might have been in " a ghost apple/no longer hanging on/in my womb" to learning to live inside an ever-changing body, she eventually sees herself reflected in her daughter, and Adele dedicating this book to her daughter Megan makes it personal and intimate.
These poems are honest. A bathroom incinerator, an ultrasound picture taken off the fridge, a mammogram, a sneeze, a handful of ashes --- in these ordinary moments, love, grief, embarrassment and resilience quietly blend.
Red Threads and Silver Linings reminds us that life is so much more than in the good days. It is also about the days we bleed, wait, lose, heal, begin again and keep going.
These poems will be appreciated not only by women, but by anyone who has watched someone they love, move through the quiet milestones that are rarely spoken about.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
