"Virginia Bell’s from the belly is pure pleasure and expertise. Poetry about all home matters secret, scary, and sweet. The body and its generations, our food and art. Poems both comfortable and ominous folded in fine linen but spotted with blood. The book, like a series of intimate paintings and photographs, is perfectly stilled. Bell is never hurried, and the reader is aware throughout of her technical skill, love, common sense, vision and magnificence."
~Chris Green, Epiphany School

Reviews of from the belly

" Reading Virginia Bell’s From the Belly, I felt a sort of indulgent, almost guilty thrill, akin to eavesdropping on purpose to the various conversations that wrap around me in a public place, like in a crowded line somewhere or an auditorium before a concert. Bell’s poems rise to the eye and ear with intensity and distinction . . ."

". . . Bell grounds her work firmly in the tangible, the livable, and the everyday, producing . . . a series of pieces that serve to lift the mundane to higher planes of thought and sensuality."
