In poems rich in metaphor and music and unflinching in their gaze, Bell offers us an exacting view of the audiologist's booth and the locked ward as she grapples with the gradual loss of her own hearing and the mental illness spreading its dark wings over her family. This is a book of plentiful sorrows but also of small and sturdy comforts, a book that chronicles the private, lonely life of the body as well as its tender generosities. What Small Sound wrestles with some of the broadest, most complicated issues of our time and also with the most fundamental issue of all: love. How it shelters and anchors us. How it breaks us and, ultimately, how it pieces us back together"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230802012029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=865C59F630FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
