{"product_id":"from-the-belly-9781937420239","title":"From the Belly","description":"In From the Belly, Virginia Bell opens the doors to a gallery of poetic meditations - on the tenderness of childhood and motherhood, the primal pleasures of food and sex, and the joyful aches of family and memory. The poems are by turns ekphrastic and self-consciously confessional, taking inspiration from the art of everyday things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBell, Virginia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Virginia Bell's poetry has appeared in \u003cem\u003eCALYX, a Journal of Art and Literature by Women\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Mom Egg\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePoet Lore\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePebble Lake Review\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWicked Alice\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eEkphrasis\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eContrary Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWoman Made Gallery's Her Mark: a Journal of Art and Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBeltway Poetry Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as in the anthologies \u003cem\u003eBrute Neighbors: Urban Nature Poetry, Prose and Photography\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eA Writers' Congress: Chicago Poets on Barack Obama's Inauguration\u003c\/em\u003e.
