Do you Know How Kind I Am?

Kathleen Bell’s poetry holds a mirror up to our times and urges us to examine hypocrisy, hearsay and fear. This is an urgent body of work that offers a vivid perspective on our reactions to living with the shadow of Covid. Bell’s poetry surprises us with its clarity. She brilliantly depicts a range of voices that illustrate fallibility, contradiction and how ‘enclosed’ so many of us have become.
