Mosquitoes, big enough to carry knives / came swarming in the unrelenting air
In Orion
“In Might Could, Anna Lena Phillips Bell emerges as one of the best lyric poets writing in America today, and simultaneously emerges as an even more profoundly rare poet—a poet who has discovered not only a new song, but a new way of making musicality the first concern of poetry. Hers is an irresistible art.”
—Shane McCrae
