Incarnate - The Collected Dead Man Poems

"Live as if you were already dead" is the Zen admonition animating Bell's brilliant poetic invention, Dead Man Poems. This volume draws from Bell's previous collections where The Dead Man appeared, and adds an abundant cache of new poems that resonate with "the dark matter and sticky stuff" of life.
