Synopsis
Limited, numbered hardback editionThe Bells of Hope is a series of 51 poems, all of them in a short form Roddy Lumsden has developed, in which metaphor and truth swirl in one short and three long lines. Lyrical and curious, these poems, though stand-alone, collectively chart a time of change in the poet's life, delighting in unusual words and tumbling images, in poems whose titles run from A to Z and back to A.

Review
The Bells of Hope inches more toward revelation than concealment and his language is more heady than ever. It is a breathtaking account of a dark night. - Kathleen Ossip Each [poem] has the feel of something completely compressed, like a car crushed into a cube, except that somehow all the individual components have survived and are interlocking perfectly. Strange little machines, then, but working to somewhat secretive ends. - Jon Stone
