Summary: | The Green Bell: A Memoir of Love, Madness and Poetry By Paula Keogh Affirm Press, 275pp, $29.99 Big questions lie at the heart of The Green Bell. In spite of an ongoing popularity (or should that be infamy?), he’s too often described in derogatory terms and Keogh’s book suffers by association, as if she was taken in by romantic hippie bullshit. At the heart of Keogh’s memoir is her relationship with poetry and the fragility of Dransfield battling his own demons, desperately wanting love at the same time as living up to the legend he had been creating in fits and starts. |
