Kay Bell explores the nuances of grief and joy as she journeys the complicated road of a self that sings like magic. She, in her own words, "whispers in a language that cannot be tamed" and the reader is compelled to embrace her unique and lyrical voice. Bell's book is a must read!

​-Pamela L. Laskin
author of Why No Goodbye and Ronit and Jamil

​Kay Bell’s poems in Diary of an Intercessor are hymns, songs, odes and elegies that grace the difficult subjects: tough childhoods, parenting, ancestry, race and class in America.  Though the Bible is referenced, the poems create their own biblical tone; casting spells to ward off evil, protect the new generation and confess the truth in fierce and stark vernacular. In the land where Trayvon Martin was murdered, Jacob Lawrence painted the Great Migration and Langston Hughes inspired dreams, this poet is courageous and fearless with language and images to paint the streets and islands of the countries she has lived in and moved through. The call towards home the reader discovers, finally rests in the poems themselves.  Bell is a traveller through time, family and ancestry and her poems are a call to follow her on that journey.

–Michelle Valladares, Author of Nortada, the North Wind
