Advance Praise
"Humour, anger, empathy and love, always written unapologetically, make it to these pages of E.D.E. Bell's Words Describing Fire proving that just like fire, it can warm but if it burns, it's you needing to self-reflect." —Dr. Zukiswa Wanner, author of Flotilla: A Journey of Conscience
“Intimate and fiery, in turns empowering, funny, heartbreaking, and relatable.”—artist Ulla Thynell, author of Faraway Dreaming
“Naked, brutal, messy in all the greatest ways. Filled with humor and humility, pain and passion, wisdom and wiliness. A portrait of a powerful soul bursting beautifully at the seams.” —Marsalis Higgs, author of Brother Goose
"Starts with the deeply personal and then expands outwards into more overly social and political topics without ever losing sight of the ways in which those larger scale issues feel. The language lens into a more simple lyricism, and intersperses that with sharp call to the anger brought forth by a world lacking basic justice."—reviewer D.
"Overall, this was really good! It had some powerful poems that really resonated with me. I liked the flow, and the overall subject matter. I do think for some of the poems there could have been a little more finesse so to speak, but nonetheless wonderful writing. I think that there was a lot to be said, and this book highlighted some serious topics, and did so with care."—reviewer Rhea Romero-Giuliana

This collection is organized so that it starts with the deeply personal and then expands outwards into more overly social and political topics without ever losing sight of the ways in which those larger scale issues feel. The language lens into a more simple lyricism, and intersperses that with sharp call to the anger brought forth by a world lacking basic justice.
