From the Belly (2012)

by Virginia Bell

 
Virginia Bell opens the doors to a gallery of poetic meditations - on the tenderness of childhood and motherhood, the primal pleasures of food and sex, and the joyful aches of family and memory. The poems are by turns ekphrastic and self-consciously confessional, taking inspiration from the art of everyday things.
