how does it end by Kendall A. Bell

How does it end? proves once again that Kendall Bell is a maestro wordsmith with this heartbreakingly profound collection. With incredibly vivid imagery in each poem, and lines like “my broken stringed heart hardening like/a crust around a jelly jar,” and “this desert/landscape absorbs sadness like a/sacrament,” this collection easily captures the readers’ attention. The collection is strong throughout and closes on a powerful note with “Elegy.”
