jimmy4559 on 17 Jun 12Jessica Bell's second collection of poems takes a look at life from a peculiarly Greek perspective. Broken into four sections-me, you, us and them (each section containing seven poems prefixed by seven haiku)-she unravels the fabric of modern life. There are hermits, crazies, murderers, abusers, failed parents, needy people, Nazis, sick people, the suicidal, the depressed-as well as the odd, sweet grandchild. On her blog Jessica writes "if you read Fabric, you're not reading poetry, you're reading about people"
