'This collection of Paul Kane's poetry, written after the death of Tina, his wife of thirty-six years, takes the reader through the deep process of grieving-in all its ebb and flow of emotion, its harrowing sorrow and sense of despair-to further stages of acceptance and self-recovery.
'Kane's poems (written as Persian ghazals) illuminate the pathways of this lonely pilgrimage and will resonate with those who have mourned the loss of a loved one.' (Publication summary)
'Paul Kane’s A Passing Bell abounds in phrases that could be extracted as summaries of the work. I chose the above to capture the tones of litany, compulsion and grief that pervade it and the striving for some species of beauty that is part of all poets’ motivation.' (Introduction)
