"Jessica Bell's FABRIC is a rich collection of poems that take the reader on a deep tour of the psyche. Charting and moving across politics of language, Bell explores love, pain, failure and redemption from a variety of angles. Most of the poems sit at the fragile threshold of instinct and meaning, using symbol and sensation to get to the shock of denouement. This is a significant collection that bears multiple readings, each time yielding something fresh." ~Magdalena Ball

Product Description
About the Author
If Jessica Bell could choose only one creative mentor, she'd give the role to Euterpe, the Greek muse of music and lyrics. This is not only because she currently resides in Athens, Greece, but because of her life as a thirty-something Australian literary fiction author, poet and singer/songwriter/guitarist, whose literary inspiration often stems from songs she's written. For more information, please visit her website: www.jessicacbell.com

I enjoyed reading Fabric. Some of my favorite poems were Flesh, The Only One Standing and What You Found.
I found quite a few leaving me feeling good while others put chills down my back. There seemed to be a theme of darkness, suffering and death within the poetry.
My favorite lines are:
My words create shawls-
they cloak the crazies
on empty nights
I will be reading more of her poetry in the future.

This is the second of Jessica Bell's poetic compelations that I have had the pleasure to read.
As with 'Twisted Velvet Chains', Ms Bell's 'Fabric' commands your attention with her thought provoking and often knife edged observations and imagery.
'Fabric' draws upon Greek mythology, language and to some extent the country's political landscape. It is powerfully written and if I had to choose just one poem to highlight, it has to be 'Not Who I Thought You Were'.
Don't worry if you're not up on your Greek mythology etc. Ms Bell has included a comprehensive Appendix at the end of the book.
Definitely a poetry book designed to provoke/promote a response and worth reading, at least once.

Very vivid lyrical, well-woven words to describe scenes, feelings and emotions. I always get engrossed reading Jessica's poems..I get lost in her world, that I don't stop. Her first poetry book, Twisted Velvet Chains does the same to me each time I open it on my Kindle. Yes, I still read it, over and over.
Jessica's poetry always inspires. This one in particular is very engaging. Each page gets into different points in people's lives, making it so different from any other poetry books I've read so far. This is a book for people who love not just poems, but words, beautiful, lyrical, descriptive words about life. It's a book full of heart and requires to be read.
