The Bell
Heading 3

Publisher notes
The poet’s voice plays as the clapper of a bell, summoning moods and imagery of love and loneliness, faith and celebration. In this new collection of poetry, Grech Ganado meditates on the great flux of life in all its darkness and light and, more pertinently, her personal frustration with words which sometimes fail to communicate at all.<em>This publication was partially funded by the National Book Council of Malta.</em><em>About the author</em>Maria Grech Ganado (b.1943) is Malta’s first Poet Laureate and has won National Book Prizes for 4 of her 7 poetry collections in Maltese or English.
