An American Original

Millennial Harvest charts the life of one of America's most original talents. Charles Bell's insatiable curiousity and humor shine through his autobiography and poetry. Few people are as equally grounded in the sciences and humanities, and through that love of learning, forge such an individual path through the world of writing. At a time when most poets embraced free verse, Charles Bell stuck to more traditional verse forms. The mathematical precision of such works as Delta Return is a joy to experience. Millennial Harvest belongs on every writer's bookshelf.

Mississippi treasure

Charles Bell is a wonderfully brilliant man with a subtle intelligence and intellectual curiosity that makes the most distant star seem but a step away. His life's work is almost immeasurable if one considers all the questions he's helped others raise about being, time, and beauty, among other things. This work allows at least some sense of the scope of his imagination, reason, and feelings about life. Those who have known his work, especiallly his symbolic history videos, will serve as witnesses to the belief that life with Charles Bell is life somehow less brilliant, less traveled and fathomed.
