Author Description

Nightworks is a refreshing retrospective on the distinguished poet's work. It provides a selection of poems from his previous books -- along with two dozen new poems -- and makes available poems from volumes long out of print, including groundbreaking collections such as The Escape into You and National Book Award finalist Stars Which See, Stars Which Do Not See. It amply demonstrates why Bell's poetic voice has been continually praised for its lucidity and eloquence, and has been rightly characterized as ambitious without pretension.
