Marvin Bell's reputation as one of our finest contemporary American
poets is built upon a distinguished thirty-year publishing history
of some fourteen books of poetry and essays. Wednesday is a perfect
way to explore the development in Bell's poetry, from his earliest
collections, such as Things We Dreamt We Died For and A Probable
Volume of Dreams, to his more recent ones, Ardor: The Book of the
Dead Man and Iris of Creation. His poems are often noted by
reviewers for their originality, lucidity, variety, and eloquence.
His writing has been called "ambitious without pretension", and
Bell himself, "an insider who thinks like an outsider".
"Grass, let me sleep, but not on Wednesday, the pivot of all
that is not the Sabbath, the fulcrum of our economy, the quickness
of riches, day in between, a day more at hand than any other, and
at its center neither ugly nor beautiful. With God at one end and
love at the other, not on Wednesday".
From "An American Anthem"
