First The Feathers

Quick overview This strikingly beautiful debut reverberates with the insight that comes from close observation of inner and outer worlds. The collection is distinguished by the sensuous physicality of vivid natural imagery, rich vairety in form and an illuminating musical use of language; all of which is backlit by a questioning intelligence. Bell faces the shadows cast by loss and change without flinching and thereby honours what it is to be alive. - John Clarke, Author of The River.
