The Frozen Sea: Poems

The poet's exploration in these poems shifts between what we may see on the surface of an object or a situation and the components that move deep within or expand far outside--discernible only to the poet's inner eye and to the reader's imagination. Telephone wires become grid marks of land and life; death becomes the pause in the frantic existence of a hummingbird or a human; fire plays moths and humans as fools in their desire for the moon. Bellamy crafts universes out of the simple earth that we stumble over each day.
