Bell marries kaleidoscopic images with the familial in her unforgettable collection Nothing Unrequited Here. With honesty and faint humor, she illustrates the evolution of relationships and redefines poetry as the distance between two people. In "the Reason You Are Not A Poet," she nails the chasm of intimacy when she writes, "He says / I Love your hair in my shower. I love your hair in my shower. / You exhale and realize / e will never be a poet, but you love / the way he called / your eyes kettle drums one night, / for lack of anything else to say. The way he carved / names into his kitchen table." After taking a dip in this impressive first chapbook you will emerge, towel-less & shivering for more. - rebecca schumejda
