The lights go out just before dark.
There is a blackout in the city
and people blame lightning.
There are many different ways to tell this story.
This is one of them.
‘Bel Schenk tells the story of disparate characters sharing New York City through two blackouts. Through a blunt
poetic style infused with subtle irony and a tact for laying down a soul (Deep inside is exactly what you are thinking
right now) Schenk adheres to people wanting to connect, with each other and with themselves. Every Time You Close Your Eyes
is a work of intense atmospheric enquiry.’ – Heather Taylor Johnson
‘The inflections with which Bel Schenk greets that odd couple, urban love and urban loneliness, are all her own.’ –
J.M. Coetzee, on Ambulances and Dreamers by Bel Schenk
‘There is a knowingness, an ambiguity at the heart of Schenk’s poetry that resists easy labels.’ – Geoffrey Lehmann, Australian
